Variety
Ultimately it is in the design and engineering of cumulative sight gag situations that Thrill of It All excels. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
Another in a surprisingly good series of romantic comedies starring Doris Day from producers Ross Hunter and Martin Melcher. - 70
The New York Times
I don't want to give you the impression that The Thrill of It All is a great film. I just want to tell you it is loaded with good, clean American laughs. - 70
Time Out
Frothy romantic comedy with Garner taking over from Rock Hudson as Day's foil. The script, by Carl Reiner, takes a mildly satiric look at the world of TV advertising. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Norman Jewison directed, but overall it's surprisingly labored, with that cheesy, set-bound look of a lot of many early '60s Universal pictures. [25 Mar 1988, p.22]
