Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The situations are amusing, the dialogue crisp, the acting of the four characters excellent, and the respective sides of husband and wife well put."

Picturegoer called the film a "feeble comedy which is weak in dialogue and situation."

Picture Show wrote: "This farcical domestic comedy is notable for one thing – the work of Louis Borell [sic], a newcomer who has a charming personality, a delightful accent, and a gay sense of comedy. ... Taken as a whole it is slightly dull and unsophisticated, but fairly amusing."
