Reception Kine Weekly wrote: "It says something for the appealing character of the plot that it gets over very well, in spite of a camera-conscious attitude by some of the performers."
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Only fair quota of humour and suspense; major portrayals adequate; average technical qualities and settings. Fair popular entertainment."
Picture Show wrote: "It is well treated, and has some genuine humour, but apart from the two leading characters, the players convey an atmosphere of artificiality."
