Reception

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Far-fetched plot runs on conventional lines, but fails to hold the interest owing to inadequate direction, banal dialogue and mediocre acting. May get by with the very uncritical."[4]

Picturegoer wrote: "Very artless comedy put over in a straightforward manner."[5]
