Daughter of Shanghai Reviews
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Good B actioner.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
Not only because of [Anna May Wong's] presence, but also because the suspense is blood-curdling at times, Daughter of Shanghai is a refreshing job of an all-too-familiar theme.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildred Martin
[Anna May Wong] moves with cool detachment and grace through this wild yarn of smugglers, thinking her own thoughts, we suspect, and doing what the can to lend interest to a film that is sillier than it is exciting.
Variety
Hobe Morrison
While the pic makes no pretensions to be more than a programmer, it has several genuine assets.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
Anna May Wong handles this role as deftly and artistically as she has her many others.
Miami Herald
H. Bond Bliss
It is a knockdown melodrama with plenty of fights and murders and narrow escapes in which virtue rightly triumphs and the villains get their just deserts. It should please those who want action and gore and excitement.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
A tense, melodramatic atmosphere -- something between Limehouse Nights and I Cover the Waterfront -- is successfully maintained in Daughter of Shanghai.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harold V. Cohen
Daughter of Shanghai manages to shine up the melodramatic boiler-plate rather presentably.
Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)
Gus McCarthy
Condense all the excitement of a multi-chapter superthrilling serial into 60 minutes running time and you get some idea of the entertainment character of Daughter of Shanghai.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
Anna May Wong turns in a good performance and... Philip Ahn, makes an effective foil for her, as well as making an effective romance.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
Miss Wong deserves better than this picture offers.
The Nippu Jiji (Honolulu)
James T. Hamada
A thrilling romance based on the alien smuggling racket.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Miss Wong makes an appealing heroine; and, despite the lack of plausibility, one's attention is held because of the constant danger to her.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Exciting action-packed crime thriller.
Buffalo News
Victor Knox
Anna May Wong really gets a rood role in Daughter of Shanghai.
