‘Seldom if indeed ever has the screen been so successful in its approach to fantasy and extravaganza through flesh-and-blood. And if the Young in Heart to whom Metro dedicates the Mervyn LeRoy production […] have not wholly disappeared from the earth’s face, this handsomely mounted fairy story in Technicolor, with its wealth of humor and homespun philosophy, its stimulus to the imagination, its procession of unforgettable settings, its studding of merry tunes should click solidly at the box-office.’
– The Film Daily, Reviews, August 10 1939
