“…. Perhaps because he was drafting a valentine to his lady love, Simon's writing is more benign here than it has been in years . . . . [But] Ross's eye and Simon's ear seem out of sync with New York. The aggravation jokes are hit so hared that they cease to amuse, and the characters' desperate lack of money is treated in a cavalier fashion that was possible only in the midst of the Great Depression. I can't help feeling that Marsha Mason was more effective in Mazursky's Blume in Love, but she has come a long way from the sobbing disaster of Audrey Rose. She and Dreyfuss do not actually light up the screen together but they manage to generate enough warmth for the needs of movie romance. The surprising modesty of this enterprise conveys its own charm.”
