TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not Credited)
Perhaps the best Hudson-Day film. Read full review

VarietyStaff (Not Credited)
This is a funny, most-of-the-time engaging, smartly produced show. Farce has Rock Hudson as would-be conqueror of Doris Day, who as the victim of a who's-who deception plays brinkmanship with surrender. Read full review

The GuardianPaul Howlett
Another glossy, witty battle-of-the-sexes comedy featuring the squeaky-clean Pillow Talk pairing of Rock Hudson and Doris Day. [28 Jan 2006, p.53]

Los Angeles TimesSusan King
Saucy, sophisticated 1961 comedy. [26 Apr 1996, p.F22]
