films. "It has all been done before—frequently much better". It did, however, find some positive aspects of the film. One was Doris Day's singing, another the caustic lines of Eve Arden. John L. Scot, reviewer for the Los Angeles Times, found the basic story trite. But also praised the charm of Doris Day and her ability to sell a tune, while also favoring the comedy performance of Eve Arden. Richard L. Coe, reviewer of The Washington Post, called the film a "supremely dull achievement". He found Arden's character wittier and more human than that of Doris Day. The New York Times wrote, "The only bit of novelty in this hackneyed reworking of this how-tough-it-is-to-get-a-break-in-show-business theme is the introduction of a cartoon fantasy sequence representing a child's dream of the Easter bunny....it doesn't last long enough to divert attention from the sad fact that 'My Dream is Yours' is a dull show." Tom Santopietro, in a retrospective of the film, credits Arden with the best performance of the film, praising her comic timing.
