The Daily Film Renter wrote: "The picture is rollicking nonsense throughout, and the story a secondary matter, but Wally Patch and Joe Hayman as Higgs and Cohen do the cockney and Yiddish character material in a manner likely to please the masses, while a number of excellent turns are introduced."[3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The film is tedious, maudlin and lacking in good taste. The acting and photography are poor."[4]
Kine Weekly wrote: "This feature, so far as the jokes are concerned is simply a collection of antiques. Betting, drinking, and telephone humour is all of the familiar brand, and Nina Mae McKinney even sings the 'Swanee River.' Mr. Newman has spared us nothing, but he has not produced anything that could reasonably be called film entertainment."[5]
