Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The script, production and acting are shoddy and insignificant. The only redeeming feature of the film is the contralto voice of Evelyn McCabe, which gives an unexpected richness to an otherwise poor effort."[5]

Kine Weekly wrote: "'On the cuff' dramatic musical, with psychiatric trimmings. It introduces Evelyn McCabe, a most promising vocalist, but it has little else to recommend it. The acting is, with a few exceptions, amateurish, and the script novelettish. Poor."[6]

TV Guide wrote, "A touch of amnesia on the audience's part would help them forget this insipid mess."[7]
