- 100Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSingin' in the Rain is a transcendent experience, and no one who loves movies can afford to miss it.
- 100EmpireWilliam ThomasEmpireWilliam ThomasWith so many films dedicated to the agonies of filmmaking, Singin’ overflows with the pleasure of movie creation, stitching together references to Hollywood history with more alacrity than Tarantino. One of the highpoints of hoofin’ history but, more importantly, an unadulterated joy.
- With the names and versatile talents of Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, supported by lilting melodies, wonderful dancing and some very funny comedy, the show just can't miss being another MGM top-grosser.
- 100ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliWatching Singin' in the Rain is an exuberant, magical experience – a journey deep into the heart of feel-good territory. Sitting through the film's 102 minutes is like ingesting a mood-altering drug. It's the perfect antidote to the blues and the blahs, and a way to bolster, enhance, and extend a natural high.

- Still the wittiest of all the MGM musicals of the 1940s and '50s.

- 80The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe nonsense is generally good and at times it reaches the level of first-class satiric burlesque. Adolph Green and Betty Comden may have tossed off the script with their left hands, but occasionally they come through with powerful and hilarious round-house rights.
