Reception

Picturegoer wrote: "Parisian backgrounds are not too convincing, but the musical numbers are tuneful and good performances come from a capable cast." [1]

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]

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "The story counts for little in this musical-comedy." [3]
