"This is for ardent Harry Barris fans only," a critic wrote for "Photoplay". It was written in "Motion Picture Herald" that Harry Barris was "a far better musician than comedian." However , the critic strongly praised Edgar Kennedy's performance. "Screenland" described it as a "peppy song-and-dance comedy, with Harry making a personal hit in it." Bobby Vernon's role as a heavy was a change of pace compared to his earlier roles. "He gained a howl when he said 'Scram' in a deep basso voice—it came as such a surprise in a tense moment," wrote a critic for "Hollywood Filmograph".
