The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This crazy and fantastic story is put over with immense gusto and tireless energy on the part of the cast. No attempt at subtlety is made. It is content to be riotous and robust entertainment of the characteristically music hall type. Many of the gags are old friends. They are none the less ludicrous and laughter-provoking for that. There are amusing scenes in a police court and in a bakehouse, and slapstick sequences in prison, Much rests on Albert Burdon's shoulders. He is practically never off the screen and clowns and fools his way through with verve and energy. The other players support him loyally, and the technical presentation is adequate."[5]
Kine Weekly wrote: "Rbust prison comedy extravaganza, suggested by Fred Karno's famous music-hall sketch. There is very little resemblance to the original and the treatment is unpretentious, but the entertainment, nevertheless, generously caters for the masses and the family through its exuberant, if ingenuous, fn. Tireless and versatile team work are the secret of its obvious success.Title and star values will do the rest. Capital light booking for the crowd. "[6] In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Crazy farce, prettyriotous at times."[7]
TV Guide called it "Funnier than most British comedies of the time," and rated it two out of four stars.[8][permanent dead link]
