The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Another of the Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn successes, even richer in humour than its predecessors. Not merely a photographed stage play, but finely treated from kinematographic angles. Great comedy work by Ralph Lynn, who scores even bigger success than in
Rookery Nook. Humour never flags, and picture is one constant succession of mirth-provoking situations."
Film Weekly wrote: "It can be said quite justly that
Plunder is merely a photographed play, that the story is badly constructed, that it is not too well directed, and that there is too much talk. Yet it will make you laugh; laugh so much that you will forget all these things in appreciation of Ben Travers's bright dialogue and the uproarious incidents. ... This film is not so funny as
Rookery Nook, but it is very funny in spite of the fact that its story is the least good of any of the Aldwych farces. All the players are in good form, and you are assured of an evening's amusement if you see this picture."
Kine Weekly wrote: "A neat, efficient picturisation of the successful Aldwych farce, which gains most of its humour from a clever character-study by Ralph Lynn as an amusing and lovable 'silly ass.' The supporting players are all good, and the presentation, although lacking in scope and stagecraft, is efficient. With its attractive title, and following closely upon the co-stars' previous successes this effort should inake a good general booking." ==References==
