TIME Magazine
[The film] has baseball as its theme, but numbers like 'Whatever Lola Wants' will entertain even non-sports fans.
Los Angeles Times
Not the equal of Stanley Donen's parallel project, The Pajama Game, but a fine and vigorous film of the Broadway musical nonetheless.

Chicago Reader
A musical lumbered with too much plot.
Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
One of the better big-budget music-fests ... mainly because it has the devil and some baseball in it.
eFilmCritic.com
A lively celebration of baseball as America's pastime set during an era where the game was at its peak.

...Bob Fosse, who choreographed, has one great on-screen number with Verdon...

Product Description:
An exciting mix of rough-and-tumble baseball with lively song-and-dance numbers makes this musical a home run. When middle-aged Joe, number one Washington Senators fan, gets a deal from the devil and is transformed into a hotshot rookie baseball player, the Senators have their first real chance to beat the Yankees and capture the pennant. But the devil's secret agenda is to pull the rug out from under the fans' feet just before the Senators win, hopefully sparking massive depression. Joe's yearning for his wife throws a wrench into the devil's devious works, encouraging the devil to call in Lola, the best vamp in his staff. Joe and Lola warily dance around each other, he fascinated by her physical charms, she mesmerized by his honest goodness. With so much pressure on him, can Joe hold it together long enough to beat those damn Yankees, win the pennant for the Senators...and keep his soul'
