- While there's not much baseball played here, this is an amiable film, marked by the enjoyable cast and some lively, if not memorable, music.
- 80Time OutTime OutEnormously enjoyable.
- 70Chicago ReaderChicago ReaderThe plot is typical fluff—Kelly and Sinatra join Esther Williams's baseball team at the turn of the century—but the production values are, as always, worth the price of admission.
- 60The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe New York TimesBosley CrowtherFor all its high spots, however, the show lacks consistent style and pace, and the stars are forced to clown and grimace much more than becomes their speed. Actually, the plotted humor is conspicuously bush-league stuff. Don't be surprised if you see people getting up for a seventh-inning stretch.
- 60The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelThis asinine story just about smothers the good-natured hoofing.
- 60Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles TimesA slight but high-spirited musical that entertains without ever really grabbing you. [29 Jan 1988, p.21]
