Reception Kine Weekly wrote: "A rousing British comedy, with plenty of popular slapstick, which is staged with ingenuity and put over with whole-hearted enthusiasm by a good cast, headed by George Clarke, who is in his best form.... This comedy is reminiscent of the music-hall sketch, but it is suitably embellished and is presented with riotous ingenuity. ... The entire cast, from George Clarke downwards, take a lively interest in their job, and their spirited enthusiasm completes a refreshing British comedy which has all the promise of a popular success."
Picturegoer wrote: "George Clarke, of music-hall motor-car sketch fame, is at his best in this popular, if conventional slapstick entertainment. ... Good, clean fun of a typically British order which cannot but put you into a good mood however blue you may feel."
Picture Show wrote: "Fast moving, brightly directed. For sheer high-spirited fun, this is one of the best British comedies ever turned out."
