Reception
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic A. H. Weiler wrote: "'Emergency Wedding,' except for a titter or two and an attempt to diagnose what ails organized medicine, is an unimpressive reproduction. ... 'Emergency Wedding,' to render a terse diagnosis, is not precisely what the doctor ordered."[4]
