Reception Film Weekly wrote: "Just a banal trifle about a faithful Jeeves who comes into a fortune and engineers a romance between his daughter and the young master. Gibb McLaughlin's drilyy unctious wit carries it along as well as possible, but it Is only mildly entertaining."
Picturegoer wrote: "Slowiy developed story, thin in plot, which contains some romantic appeal and popular humour."
Picture Show wrote: "Melodrama, comedy and sentiment are well mixed, and the cast is excellent."
