Picture Show wrote: "Gene Gerrard as Andre is in excellent form, and is responsible for some first-rate humour. Wendy Barrie as Madeline is also at her best, and gives an extremely good performance in support. The remainder of the cast maintain the high standard of those mentioned, which adds greatly to the ultimate success of the picture." [2]
