The Evening Standard gives a review on "Doughboys," "I am not so sure that Buster Keaton has suffered by being made to talk. He is a different Buster, this is true, but he is developing into another character with more of the breath of life in him than was ever possessed by that wooden-faced shadow of silence." "Doughboys is as clean, clever, and comic a film as the talkies have ever given us."
