Reception Variety gave a positive review and wrote of Kelly, "As a screen character Kelly is as welcome as he was in vaude [sic]. He is at home in front of the camera, and records well." They continued, "In the writing, casting and direction a distinctly southern flavor has been captured and the settings of a little town also lend authentielty to the atmosphere."
Modern Screen gave the film a four-star review and described it as a “pleasant homey type of picture”. It said “the youngsters (Robert Cummings, Johnny Downs and Marsha Hunt) are pleasant and the comedy, as handled by Stepin Fetchit, is both spontaneous and funny”.
