Film Weekly wrote: "A British backstage film with, a few good moments. Fair."
Kine Weekly wrote: "A British drama of vaudeville life which develops on familiar American lines. The individual characterisation is exceptionally good, and a realistic atmosphere prevails. ... Lillian Davies gives rather a hard portrayal as Norma, but sings with good effect, and Constance Carpenter and Roy Royston make a satisfactory pair of lovers as Jack aud Jill. Cyril Ritchard and Nick Adams, however, easily steal the honours as Craddock and Moss respectively. V. Gareth Gundrey has unfolded the obvious story clearly, and receives considerable help from a cast of versatile and popular English artistes, but has not succeeded in introducing any originality into the proceedings apart from the main plot, there is a pleasing love interest, plenty of humour and a number of tuneful melodies. Technically, the production is unpretentious, and is not helped by the colour sequences, which are crude and obviously hand tinted."
