Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A busy domestic comedy, angled to the housing shortage problem; it is high-spirited and obvious, and has plenty of clean and reasonably good fun."

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Light fun with lots of incident."

TV Guide wrote: "Unmemorable comedy."

Allmovie wrote "Some laughs, some tears, some pretzels, some beers. Come Back Peter went down easily in a brisk 80 minutes."
