The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Very well photographed (at Brixham, Devon) and including scenes at the British Seaman's Orphan Boys' Home, this is an unpretentious but agreeable film. Despite the limitations of heavy sentimentality and a rather stilted script, it has an unconventional and characteristic charm."[2]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "agreeable most improbable. Shot in Brixham, Devon."[4]
