"It has been several years since Carole Lombard has been able to quiet down to a straight dramatic role. With David O. Selznick's Made For Each Other, the flighty blonde of screw-ball comedy fame gets the chance and makes the most of it. In giving what is probably the best performance of her career, she shares the film's honors with its author, director, and her co-star, James Stewart." Newsweek, February 13, 1939 |

Graham Greene, The Spectator, August 4, 1939 |
