Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Simple naive romance of big business, obvious in its dialogue and situations, but made quietly entertaining and interesting through its sound characterisation and anthentic atmosphere. Modest thrills are dovetailed into the development and sufficient dramatic momentum is obtained to keep the interest alive."

Picture Show wrote: "Entertaining drama ... Competently acted, straightforwardly directed."

Picturegoer wrote: "Naive romance of a simple order. Very obvious in situation and dialogue, but good in atmosphere and characterisation. Betty Stockfeld is vivacious as the heroine."
