Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Farcical comedy, which successfully rings the changes on popular gags and situations and presents them in a modern guise. The pace is not terrific, but the film nevertheless succeeds in recording a steady succession of laughs, and its humour is put over by a competent and hard-working cast, headed by Jay Laurier."[4]
Picturegoer wrote: "Obvious humour and gags go to make up this farce ... It is all ingenuous fooling, with a touch of sex to give it spice. Jay Laurier, a little old-fashioned in his methods, nevertheless gets the laughs, while Betty Astell makes a vivacious and attractive heroine."[5]
Picture Show wrote: "Hearty comedy ...Amusing situations, neat dialogue, effective night-club settings."[6]
