Critical reception The Film Daily offered a positive review and described the film as a "pleasing domestic comedy" and "breezy entertainment" that "moves at a lively pace" under Raymond McCarey's direction.
Variety's review was negative and dismissed the film as a "Synthetic little story for adolescents, written, directed and acted in an amateurish manner." It commented that Nan Grey offers nothing but a "freshness of youth."
