Empire Magazine
It's rather cute, but only the truly girly will fall for the decidedly Officer And A Gentlemanly denouement that injects a belated sexy note.

Cinema em Cena
Os personagens vivem crises de identidade que soam reais graças às boas performances de seus intérpretes - e isto coloca o filme acima do que permitiria seu material.
| Original Score: 4/5
Looking Closer
American filmmakers have [again] hammered something beautiful down into unremarkable mush. Still, it honors marriage more than any film in recent memory.
| Original Score: B-
Reno Gazette-Journal
Possesses a sunny optimism that filmgoers don't regularly see.
| Original Score: 3.5/4

'What woman wouldn't want a handsome husband showing up at work in a tuxedo, holding one perfect rose?'

Some moves in Shall We Dance require a leap of faith, but there's a really heartwarming love story in here somewhere.

...one of the most romantic films of the year.

Austin Chronicle
It's hard not to get caught up in this film, despite its many flaws, primarily because Gere makes for a sympathetic figure, a middle-aged man just wanting to feel something new in the autumn of his life.

Film Journal International
Filmgoers lured by nice notices, marketing magic and the teaming of Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon will be charmed and entertained and spread that all-critical word of mouth.
Boston Herald
A charming, well-cast and acted comedy about the glamour and romance of dance.

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
The screenplay does not allow the dance to overshadow the human core of the story - Clark's search for fulfillment, for the missing piece to make his life complete.
