- 75New York PostNew York PostAn effective damsel-stalked-by-psycho horror tale, only more lush, as befitting any film produced by Ross Hunter. [15 Aug 1999, p.035]
- 70The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe New York TimesBosley CrowtherIt's always nice to have a mystery melodrama, no matter how implausible it may be, that takes place amid elegant surroundings and involves people who are beautiful and rich. It makes one feel so luxurious to be there with the diamonds and champagne, enjoying the heat on the rich folks and knowing that you are not going to be burned.
- 70Time OutTime OutA smoothly efficient variation on the 'frightened lady' thriller.
- 60TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineWhile nothing to rival Hitchcock, the film's look and direction make it a worthwhile effort. Doris Day makes the switch from light comedy to suspense fairly well, creating a believable victim, while Harrison, his usual debonair self, adopts a sinister air.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis thriller was overpraised in the '60s and it still looks hokey. The acting ranges from wooden to petrified: Day and Rex Harrison are at their least convincing, and John Gavin sounds like his voice was dubbed by someone barely more British than himself. [29 Jul 1987, p.19]
