Reception The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Musical romance concerned mainly with performances by Jack Hylton's band and attempts to wreck a special broadcast. The director is, perhaps wisely, content to let the succession of turns take each its own way, linked together by a slender story of a romance. The band numbers are the main feature, a 'repartee' number being specially noteworthy for its splendid timing. The Leon Woizikowsky Ballet makes an interesting appearance, not too much cut up by any attempt at fancy editing, and Claude Dampier intrudes his eccentric fooling at intervals. A versatile film of many talents."
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Jack Hylton and His Band in bright, lively entertainment that combines generous lashings of melody, humour, romance and spectacle. ... Musicians perform in wide variety of locales, supplemented by song and dance turns, and decorative chorus of high-steppers. June Clyde registers effectively in ingenue lead. Excellent box-office for Hylton fans."
Picture Show wrote: "Jack Hylton's introduction to the screen with his famous band is a complete success. He is perfectly natural as himself, and the band is in great form. ... A most entertaining picture."
