Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is a hackneyed plot which has gained nothing since the days when it was a popular musical-hall sketch. Indeed, the liveliness of its music-hall slapstick is entirely lost on the screen. It is pleasant, however, simply to sit back and let the rest of the film drift on for the pleasure of watching Muriel Aked, who is surely among the finest of British character actresses,"
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Yet another Dewhurst-made version of the old stage chestnut, really no better than all the rest."
