Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "An absurd farce, with impersonations, misunderstandings and dressing-ups galore; people who find these funny will no doubt find them funny."

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Typically long and hoary Mancunian farce."
