Hepburn is magnificent as the small-town social climber, although the script so softens Booth Tarkington's novel.
Time Out
Rating: A- --
George Stevens' poignant adaptation of the Tarkington famous novel is one of the few Ameriacn films of its era to examine the impact of social class in a realistic way.

Alice Adams would be forgotten if it weren't for Hepburn's typically charismatic performance as the woman who turns social climbing into an art form.

There's much humor that comes out of the believable characters portrayed and the pain they suffer from their plight.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
That George Stevens' direction captures the wistfulness of Katharine Hepburn's superb histrionism, and yet has not sacrificed audience values at the altar of too much drabness and prosaic realism, is an achievement of no small order.
