Critic Moira Finnie of FilmStruck sums up The Group:
The crowd of highly educated, privileged characters on the screen in The Group approached their postgraduate life in the Great Depression as though it was a midterm exam to be aced and filed away, with each milestone treated like a fast course in typing or dancing, another skill acquired, to be trotted out at the next luncheon with the other girls in the group. Full of ideas about a woman's role in the society, but with little real life experience other than in school, the movie chronicles their continued education in the real world.[6]
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times panned it as "a rambling account of the thoroughly banal domestic doings of these eight girl graduates," "so atrociously staged" and "so awkwardly and mawkishly played that it seems not only a travesty of the nineteen-thirties but an insult to a generation of human beings."[7] Variety wrote that the film is faithful to the novel but retains too much detail.[8]
