Reception
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Drama, interspersed with comedy, around assistant and patrons in West End beauty parlour. Light touches provided by sequences of suburban home life and ambitious titled women who desire rejuvenation. Excellent performance by Anna Lee in leading role; reasonable support from remainder of cast. Competent direction and authentic settings provide useful booking for popular halls, with appeal for women patrons."
Kine Weekly wrote: "The situations are rather obvious in construction but the individual acting is competent and introduces emotional as well as feminine interest. Fair average two-feature programe booking for the masses."
