Reception The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Those who like Mr. Powell will find this film excruciatingly funny."

Kine Weekly wrote: "Friendly, homespun comedy, neatly fashioned to accommodate the urbane versatility of stage, screen and radio star Sandy Powell. The story has showmanlike comprehensiveness, the star's performance is excellent, many of the gags are great, and the support and staging, are first-rate."

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Patrons who see Sandy Powell's name outside a theatre know pretty well the sort of show they are going to get, and the comedian's latest Beaconsfield talkie should not disappoint them."
