Variety wrote "following Juliet Mills’ successful stage appearances, in “Five Finger Exercise,” both in the West End and on Broadway her screen debut has been awaited with more than average interest. Would she be able to keep up the screen tradition of father John Mills and her younger sister, Hayley Mills? Answer appears to be “Yes,” though she has a fairly stereotyped role in a not outstanding pic. This, at best, is an unpretentious, amiable comedy. At worst it has to thrash around too energetically for the yocks."
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is painful to see how unfunny even a good cast can be when given a script so lacking in wit and so full of jokes and characters familiar from decades of matinées. Slippery mats, lift doors shutting too fast, and Lido programmes brought back from a business journey to Paris are only too typical of the level of comic invention. A skin-deep semblance of contemporary sophistication is the main contribution of Ralph Thomas's pedestrian direction. The youngsters, Rad Fulton and the lively Juliet Mills, maintain some dignity, but their love is too innocent to be credible and the general atmosphere so insistently clean-limbed as to be faintly unwholesome."
Kinematograph Weekly called it a "stylish and wholesome romantic comedy." ==References==
