On the Town Reviews
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Gaiety, rhythm, humor and a good, wholesome dash of light romance have been artfully blended together in this bright Technicolored comedy.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...the movie belongs to its women.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
It's hard to make a good musical with mediocre songs... One exception... the sweetness and gracefulness [of Gene Kelly and Vera-Ellen] in "Main Street."
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
It's romp, it's a romance, it's a songfest, it's everything that has now become rather passe in a musical comedy.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A lively and brash musical comedy spectacle.
DVDTalk.com
David Cornelius
With Donen and Kelly at the musical helm, it's no surprise that the song-and-dance numbers are top notch.

Chris Barsanti
...as fresh as the day it was minted.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Its aww-shucks charm becomes hard to resist as the three sailors dart around Manhattan, looking for culture, sights, and, of course, 24-hour love.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
A bright Christmas confection.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A fine, freewheeling musical.
Variety
Variety Staff
The pep, enthusiasm and apparent fun the makers of On the Town had in putting it together comes through to the audience and gives the picture its best asset.

Kelly and Donen take the MGM musical outdoors, the New York minute is stretched to 24 hours
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Disappointingly flat musical; if you're after a Kelly/Sinatra pairing, you'll do better with Anchors Aweigh (and even that is no masterpiece).
Blunt Review
Emily Blunt
Simply wonderful and a time capsule to boot!
TV Guide
On the Town is so energetic and vital that the screen barely contains it.
