Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The few opening Smithfield and waterside scenes are made with an air of some reality and the butlering scenes give Max Miller opportunities for knockabout humour and a few digs at the huntin' and ridin' crowd – not very much is made of his fear of arrest. The situations include a bedroom scene and a farcical hunt. As a whole the film is amusing although the humour is slightly ponderous."^[4]

Kine Weekly wrote: "Robust, hilarious comedy, this film deserves to succeed because nothing has been left to chance; all the tried and trusted gags are in and a few good new ones."^[5]
