Kine Weekly wrote: "Feeble sociological comedy crudely adapted from a music-hall sketch. The humour is far too old-fashioned to withstand amplification to full quota dimensions, and the net result is a film beneath the notice of the average exhibitor. Definitely not recommended. ... Robb Wilton strives hard to amuse as Watkins but the feeble part and the atrocious dialogue beat him hands down. ... the idea is exploited with such a clumsy, amateurish hand that what laughs there are are scored at the expense of the picture's crudity. ...The staging is so cramped that the attempt to create humorous contrast between life above and below stairs completely misfires while the camera work is static."^[4]

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Directed with little inspiration, the piece is decked cut with banal dialogue, ludicrous situations, and artificial characterisation, while the acting hardly reaches any new high levels. What entertainment there is derives from the spectacle of erstwhile servants lording it over their late employers, who are forced to wait on them. There is a slight romantic element, but this, in common with most of the other issues, is ambiguously defined. Robb Wilton tries hard to infuse life-blood into his role of a butler, but with little effect."^[5]

Picture Show wrote: "There is little to recommend this weak story of penurious aristocrats whose places are taken by their servants in their own home. Indifferently directed and acted."^[6]

Picturegoer wrote: "Outmoded humour, dull dialogue and crude handling make it impossible for the cast to get any worth-while entertainment out of this story."^[1]
