Some of the fun is even more reprehensible than the doings of these clowns in previous films, but there is no denying that their antics and their patter are helped along by originality and ready wit.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times

This 1932 release was the first Marx film to take on the Depression, and the brothers manage to satirize everything from education to prostitution and bootlegging.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader

The Brothers have never been so chaotic or so aggressively funny.
