Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Low comedy-drama, heavily draped with maternal sentiment, so old-fashioned in story, acting and treatment, that, if it were not for its modern technical qualities it might pardonably be mistaken for a reissue. Ethel Levey works hard and displays versatility, but her performance steeped in the tradition of the music-hall, is unlikely to find full appreciation from this generation of picturegoers. Moderate quota film for unexacting patrons."
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Slender mother-love drama fashioned round personality of Ethel Levey. Other characters subordinated to star, allowing her full expression and opportunity to put over series of songs. ... Miss Levey's style is well known, and the value of the picture can best be assessed in terms of her popularity."
Picturegoer wrote: "Ethel Levey's talkie debut hardly reveals the vivid personality which dominated the pre-war Empire. She plays a 'tough' momma vigorously, but it tends to the vulgar and the sentimental moments do not quite hit the mark. She sings some songs which the mike render rather over-poweringin effect. Certainly the material at her command is poor. It is old-fashioned low-comedy drama with little appeal to a critical audience."
