- 88Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThis is an intoxicatingly amusing blend of cynical urbane comedy, slick detection and breezy romance. [24 Jun 2005, p.C6]

- 67The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonFor the first time, the formula feels strained, due to excessive baby/dog humor and not enough Powell/Loy interaction.
- 60Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrThis 1939 release is still watchable, though the spirit is now sitcom.
- 60The New York TimesFrank S. NugentThe New York TimesFrank S. NugentThis third of the trademarked Thin Men takes its murders as jauntily as ever, confirms our impression that matrimony need not be too serious a business and provides as light an entertainment as any holiday-amusement seeker is likely to find.
- More mystery than comedy dominates this sometimes draggy production, whose script is less inspired than in previous THIN MAN efforts. The atmosphere and sets, along with stellar performances by the principals, can't offset a weak story.
- 60Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThird in the series, the effortlessly effervescent Powell and Loy and a sharp supporting cast are all but overwhelmed by a tedious, impenetrably complicated plot, involving the murder of Nora's late father's business partner (C. Aubrey Smith). [14 Jul 1996, p.4]
- 40The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelThe third in the series, and without any new ideas except a bad one: still airily casual, Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) are now the parents of a baby boy.
