The magazine Photoplay praised Patsy Kelly's performance, adding: ". If you are a fan of screwball comedies, you'll probably enjoy the movie " Howard Barnes review in the New York Herald Tribune was rather lukewarm: " The plot structure remains familiar but weak, there are plenty of casual nonsense to keep alive your spirit. The clowning seems rather random, but is refreshing in the rule. " [ ... ] Enough reason to watch the film, there would be all.
