Reception The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This comedy drama, in spite of its banal title, has flashes of real interest. ... The production contains a delightful puppet show, some good singing from Bernice Claire, and some severe tilts at the refined education of Lord Sheldon's son, Bobby, and at the night-club habits of his aristocratic father. ... William Beaudine contributes some nice directoral touches, but some of the scenes are too long nor has the script provided sufficient material to link them. This, aggravated by ragged cutting, in turn bears hardly on the less mature actors, though it allows a player like Eliot Makeham to make much of a single scene. A pleasingly contrived film with some deeper value."
Kine Weekly wrote: "Musical romance, a simple excursion into the realms of modern make-believe, into which is dovetailed such popular elements as a pretty love interest, sly comedy, tuneful songs and agreeable juvenile sentiment. In spite of its flimsy texture, the varied menu manages to fill an hour or so quite pleasantly. ... Bernice Claire makes a promising English screen debut as Micky; she has personal charm, a sense of humour, and a singing voice of more than average quality. George Curzon easily adapts his talents to the quixolic role of Sheldon, and Paul Hartley is likeable as the shrewd and understanding Bobby."
