Send Me No Flowers doesn't carry the same voltage, either in laughs or originality.

Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh

Probably the best of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson vehicles.

Tom Milne, Time Out
Fresh

It is a beautiful farce situation, and Julius Epstein has written it, from a play by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore, with nimble inventiveness and style.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten

At 40, [Day] should maybe stop trying to play Goldilocks.
