...Jolson sings well but sings about three times too often; he brings in his gags self-consciously as an amateur vaudeville performer. Dolores Del Rio dances beautifully. Ricardo Cortez as her dancing partner looks like a hard, bad man; we like him better smiling. Dick Powell in a serious revival of his humorous part in "Blessed Event" is a singing, composing orchestra leader faintly reminiscent of a well-known insecticide.

Dolores Del Rio's comely figure and pretty face fit in nicely. But, as I have said before, it is Fred Astaire's picture, one very worth while seeing for his presence, for such tunes as "Carioca." "Flying Down To Rio," and "Music Makes Me," and for the professional direction and photography...
