The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Painstakingly directed, film moves well, save for one or two overlong emotional sequences that drag. Spacious night club interiors are principal background. Songs by Jane Carr and dancing by Sherman Fisher girls embellish main theme. Lewis Shaw takes honours as juvenile lead in performance of distinct promise. Picture ranks as acceptable popular fare. To describe this film as a 'musical drama' is not strictly accurate. Actually it is a drama into which half a dozen songs are introduced during scenes in a night club." Picturegoer wrote: "Direction is generally good, but the continuity is a little ragged. Camerawork is efficient and the atmosphere generally convincing." == References ==
