Reception

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther called the film "a modest bit of comedy and romance" and wrote: "The humor is very obvious and the situation even more so; but Gloria sings three songs nicely... and young Donald is a pleasant gosling... In short, an acceptable picture for teen-age patrons on a double bill. But try to forget that title. It brings up nothing but unpleasant thoughts."
