Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Though this film has emotional appeal, further reflection shows that its continuity and the performances of the chief characters is poor. Were it not for the all too short appearances of Will Fyffe, the film would have no merits. Leni Lynn has a voice, and that is about all. The other characters are wooden and the situations stereotyped. 'The theme song, however, is tuneful." [6]
Kine Weekly wrote: "Generoulsy tailored and lavishly trimmed Cinderella type comedy drama, complete with appropriate and tuneful music and song, tabulating the many tender domestic and romantic vicissitudes of a pretty and talented young singer. Leni Lynn's charming and ingratiating personality and delightful singing, Will Fyffe's kindly humour, the cleverly contrasted rural England and Gay Paree settings, catchy signature tune, delightful directorial touches and deft musical accompaniment happily convert its timehonoured, but elegant subterfuge into clean and colourful popular light entertainment. It's a glittering gift for the gods. Capital British light booking, particularly for industrial provincial and family audiences." [7]
Variety wrote: ""Will Fyffe admirers won't believe their eyes if and when they see this opus. Fyffe is on the screen most of the picture, yet his role, that of a colorless farmhand, could have been safely left to a bit player. Pic for lower half of duals, and for British audiences only." [8]
