Kine Weekly wrote: "Comedy drama, an anaemic tale of adventure, loosely constructed and indifferently directed. The plot so surely suggests musical comedy and provides so many openings for song that the absence of melody lets the film down. The players, too, with the exception of Hugh E. Wright, master of his craft, register discomfort in their roles. The film is so simple, so naive, that it has little to recommend it outside of its quota angle. ... This musical comedy without the music is very thin stuff. The idea is not too bad, but the producer wavers between the burlesque and the straight, and the entertainment suffers accordingly. The simplicity of the humour, which at times almost amounts to slapstick, may please the uncritical, but this is as far as the film can hope to go."^[3]

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Feeble plot presented with complete lack of imagination, utterly fails to convince, while presentation leaves much to be desired. Action degenerates into slapstick at times. Not recommended. ... It is difficult to set down in full the details of this naive story, for it seems to defy all the accepted canons of logic. Towards the end, the action develops into slapstick, thereby destroying any semblance of conviction that might have been secured. Directed with little imagination, the picture is a crude effort, from whatever angle it is surveyed. The players struggle hard to invest their characterisations with some degree of sincerity, but fail miserably."^[4]
