Critical reception
Author and film critic Hal Erickson wrote in AllMovie that the film "is almost refreshingly old-fashioned" and that "amusing moments are provided by those grand old troupers Percy Helton and Maudie Prickett."[4] Critic Mark Franklin described the film as "far short of great, but not as bad as the title might imply," noting that it is "marred by some silliness" but that "the smoky voiced Crowley makes for a feisty leading lady."[5]
