"In this [first] movement, Tanaquil LeClercq and Jerome Robbins are the solo figures, and they are irresistibly funny in the most completely stylish terms, Miss LeClercq is particularly delicious, and Mr. Robbins, an expert in these matters, gallantly gives her the scene." —John Martin, New York Times

"The lastest [ballet], George Balanchine’s Bourrée Fantasque, which made its bow last night, is clearly going to be in the repertoire for a long time giving considerable pleasure to the majority of the customers. This is not exactly the same thing as saying that it is a world masterpiece, which it is not, but it is gay, energetic, young, spirited and generally charming, and that is perhaps just about what it set out to be."
—John Martin, New York Times
