Reception
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Presented with considerable directorial ingenuity, pepped up with amusing comedy and tuneful songs, film staged in lavish settings that include mammoth night club of artistic design. Zelma O'Neal scores triumph as gold-digging shop-girl, Clifford Mollison and Wendy Barrie making personable leads."[3]
Picture Show wrote: "Clifford Mollison as Paul gives a lively and spirited performance, and is cleverly supported by Wendy Barrie, who gives a first-rate interpretation of her part as Karen."[4]
