Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This artless comedy opens promisingly, but poverty of invention, uneven direction and weak scripting – not to mention song and dance padding – quickly tax the efforts of the cast. The net result fails to score on any level."

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Weak comedy wastes good idea."
