Roberta is musical picture-making at its best - fast, smart, good looking and tuneful.

Astaire and Rogers persistently upstage the romantic leads, Irene Dunne and Randolph Scott, and they simply fly, largely unburdened by the plot.
75
The musical evergreen, with Irene Dunne billed over Fred and Ginger. [03 Nov 2006, p.C5]
70
The trifling plot is overly talky, but all is forgiven when Dunne sings "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "Lovely to Look At" and Astaire and Rogers go into action. [01 Dec 1986, p.2]
63
There is pleasure in Astaire and Rogers floating, a foot apart, to “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” as well as the elaborate, heavily furred gowns that the fashion setting allows.
50
Fred'n'Ginge fans won't need a nudge, but the uninitiated should start with almost any of their other movies.
40
This is a bore -- arch and unfunny 80% of the way. [26 May 1987, p.1]
