Reception Kine Weekly wrote: "Sociological romantic comedy. Too transparent in its plot to entertain other than the unsophisticated."
Picturegoer wrote: "Aimless and crudely planned story of a down-and-out and a spendthrift who change places, the former being suspected of business acumen in consequence and the latter finding romance with an out-of-work typist. The pace is very slow, and it is all so obvious and artificial that it fails to entertain very successfully."
