The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The film is rather long-drawn out and over-acting by the principals often makes the comedy seem rather forced."
Kine Weekly wrote: "Fruity slapstick comedy ... An elaborate benefit concert featuring Cavan O'Connor and other turns, sandwiched between the breezy knockout fooling and the pleasing vocal asides help mellow the film's ripe, not to say ribald, gags and lines. Norman Evans's 'visit to the Dentist' sketch is one of the comedy highlights. Towards the finish the fun thins a little but in spite of its crazy continuity and hefty footage, the show is good music hall."
Picturegoer wrote: "Slapstick comedy dealing with ex-Serviceman who, in spite of the activities of a crooked solicitor, put a de-requisitioned hotel on its feet. It's broad in its humour and contains a number of well-known music-hall turns, including the Strolling Vagabond. Boiled down to essentials, it is actually a celluloid music-hall show, with all the cast working hard to make a success of their various turns." ==References==
