Reception
[edit]In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic A. H. Weiler called the film "a highly ineffectual little item" and wrote: "'We're no good,.' Mr. Duff realistically admits to Miss Gray at one point, a sentiment that seems to be a pretty fair approximation of the whole business."[5]
