Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is a simple slapstick type of film with good horseplay laughs. It is not very fast-moving but it fulfils the job for which it was intended and the characters are the familiar ones of a W. W. Jacobs' story."

Kine Weekly wrote: "Topical rather than subtle, the film extracts any amount of good fun from the exigencies of war. It also introduces a number of laughable thrills."
