Reception

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "The two stars are on the screen nearly all the time, and their particular species of knock-about pantomime is admirably measured to fit the lovers of that form of humour. Even so, it could be cut with advantage, as some of the scenes and a deal of the talk tend to become monotonous."
