The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is an amateurish film which is very disjointed, with a weak story as a means of introducing various comedy acts and musical turns. These acts are good in their own sphere, but they do not constitute a good film. Terry Thomas is excellent in his inevitable way, and the music will appeal to those who like jazz."
Kine Weekly wrote: "The team try hard to make good-humoured fun of theatrical folk – irascible managers, explosive booking agents, penniless artistes and suspicious landladies – but their gags lack originality and spontaneity. Noisy rather than laughable, the flm's strongest selling line is its British ticket." In
The Radio Times Guide to Films David Parkinson gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "In only his second credited role, Terry-Thomas starred in this feeble comedy with brothers Len and Bill Lowe, playing the members of an
ENSA trio who reunite after the war to revive their hopes of showbiz success. The nightclub routines are pretty awful and director Dicky Leeman hasn't a clue how to structure a narrative. But Jean Carson spares everyone's blushes as the girl they all fall for, and Norman Wisdom makes his feature debut."
Sky Movies wrote, "a sparkling performance from the young Terry-Thomas and a bright, sassy attitude saves this dated, rather choppy little filler item from the scrapheap of movie history. Worth a look for nostalgia buffs and curio collectors". ==References==
