Picturegoer wrote: "A real riot of fun, excellently put over, and acted with a wealth of bright 'gags,' plenty of movement, and excellent settings of cabarets and English countryside. ... The whole picture is leavened with a spice of daring, which is as amusing as it is innocuous." Film Weekly wrote: "Many of the [...] gags are familiar, and the lines are smart rather than clever, but they are put over so slickly, snd with such a keen sense of humour, that they can hardly fail to amuse." TV Guide wrote, "This British farce is a nice combination of slapstick and verbal comedy ...An above-average production for British features of this period." ==References==
