...A potboiler with a difference -- A CinemaScope hybrid that's half Chicago gangster pic and half glossy MGM musical...
USA Today
Ray's direction, with its garish, searing streaks of color (red has rarely slashed the screen so violently), sharp diagonals, and quickly lurching wide-screen views, reflects its characters' raging energies and inner conflicts.

New Yorker
Unfortunately, the picture's plot (good girl helps bad guy go straight) fits the mood like a concrete overshoe, and the more than generous serving of cheesecake is pretty soggy stuff.

It's a honey of a film, never mind the superficial flaws.

Rating: 2/5 --
There is little that is novel or exciting about this Party Girl, despite her trappings or the occasional gunplay that surrounds her.

New York Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The CinemaScope and Metrocolor production gives the film a regal feeling that is at odds with the edgy, dangerous setting.
Film Threat
Rating: 3/5 --
MGM exploitation flick starring Robert Taylor and Cyd Charisse near close of their careers.
