Critical reception

edit

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A naive and artificial magazine romance with a comforting moral, capable enough on its own level. Kay Callard plays what is almost a solo piece with suitable efficiency, and there is an amusing character sketch by Elizabeth Fraser as a dim typist."[2]

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "The old, old story – on a budget."[3]
