Pillow Talk is a sleekly sophisticated production that deals chiefly with s-e-x.

Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten

Compulsively mainstream as only 50s Hollywood could be, and never very funny.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten

It often seems complacent and shallow.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh

One of the most lively and up-to-date comedy-romances of the year.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
