==Reception== The film was placed at No. 4 in the list of [[1942 in film|top-grossing movies]] for 1942 in the USA. [[Bosley Crowther]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' liked it: "Let us be thankful that Paramount is still blessed with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and that it has set its cameras to tailing these two irrepressible wags on another fantastic excursion, ''Road to Morocco'', which came to the Paramount yesterday. For the screen, under present circumstances, can hold no more diverting lure than the prospect of Hope and Crosby ambling, as they have done before, through an utterly slaphappy picture, picking up Dorothy Lamour along the way and tossing acid wisecracks at each other without a thought for reason or sense...The short of it is that ''Road to Morocco'' is a daffy, laugh-drafting film. And you’ll certainly agree with the camel which, at one point, offers the gratuitous remark, 'This is the screwiest picture I was ever in'."<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Crowther|first1=Bosley|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1942/11/12/archives/road-to-morocco-with-bing-crosby-bob-hope-dorothy-lamour-at.html|title=' Road to Morocco,' With Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour at Paramount -- Other Films |journal=The New York Times|date=November 12, 1942|access-date=May 25, 2021}}</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' commented: "Crosby, Hope and Lamour have done it again. Their click in ''Road to Singapore'' and ''Road to Zanzibar'' is eclipsed by ''Road to Morocco''... Crosby, of course, is still more or less straighting for Hope’s incessantly steaming gags. The two have never teamed better, nor have they, seemingly, romped with such abandon."<ref>{{cite journal|title=Road to Morocco|journal=Variety|date=October 7, 1942}}</ref>
