Critical reception
The New York Times called it "a limp, tedious and transparent farce hardly worth all the strenuous histrionics and singing...One Night With You, in short, is a long, dull time";[3] whereas, more recently, the Radio Times called it "An occasionally diverting British-made comedy, enlivened by a supporting cast that includes Bonar Colleano, Stanley Holloway and the soon-to-be great stage actress Irene Worth."[4]
