Chicago Tribune
One of the great, outrageously irreverent American movie comedies. [27 Sep 2005, p.C3]

The Irish Times
Maybe, Morgan’s Creek does not have the ironic grit of Sullivan’s Travels or the suave perfection of The Lady Eve, but, as a showcase for Sturges the comic impresario, it can hardly be bettered.

Chicago Reader
Caustic and chaotic in the arch Sturges manner, it's probably his funniest and most smilingly malicious film.

Charlotte Observer
Any Preston Sturges comedy explodes American ideals, and this one mocks everything from patriotism to motherhood. [14 Jun 1998, p.1F]

Empire
Sturges' no-holds-barred comic cristicism of American Forces abroad is still challenging and funny.

USA Today
This Preston Sturges classic cast Hutton as a small-town girl who gets pregnant by a soldier whose name she can't remember. No film better channels her comic energy or makes better use of her obvious yearning for acceptance. [19 Jun 2000]

Variety
Done in the satirical Sturges vein, and directed with that same touch, the story makes much of characterization and somewhat wacky comedy, plus some slapstick, with excellent photography figuring throughout.

Creo que es una película que presenta una premisa interesante, como antes y bueno, aún hoy, de cierta forma. Al embarazarte era obligatorio casarte, y cuando no sabes cómo pasó ni quién es el padre, sin duda es algo interesante. Eso sumado a cosas como la bigamia, o algo que pasa en la actualidad: muchos padres y madres, aunque no son los biológicos, terminan criando a esos niños. Es así que pintaba algo interesante. El mayor problema que veo es que, al ser una comedia, en primer lugar, todos estos tópicos se toman sin una profundidad verdadera. Además, en ningún momento causan gracia los sucesos; están mal escritos, son torpes. Y luego el final, que es feliz como no podría ser de otra manera, da el mensaje de que no importa lo que hagas, aunque te equivoques, todo se arreglará, será un "milagro". Y así no funciona la vida.
