Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This should have been either a roaring farce or a bitter satire, whereas it is only mildly amusing and the thrills never get across. We never believe in the important secret and so cannot think that Jeremy is ever in serious danger. The best parts are the domestic comedy scenes between Claude Dampier and Muriel Aked as Jeremy's prospective in-laws."
Kine Weekly wrote: "Comedy espionage drama, unpretentious in presentation but novel in theme. The plot seldom sides with realism, but it has several diverting offshoots and they converge as it develops into quite good popular entertainment."
Picturegoer wrote: "What almost appears to be a burlesque spy story in which the captain of the Boys' Brigade finds himself through a chain of circumstances involved in international affairs. It can hardly be said that the most has been made of a somewhat promising situation, but Neil Hamilton does what he can with the material he is given as the gallant captain. Claude Dampier scores a laugh or two as a hen-pecked husband, and Peter Gawthorne is very good as the Prime Minister who eventually has to take a hand in the affair. Two good studies come from Franklyn Dyall and Muriel Aked."
Picture Show wrote: "This is a thoroughly entertaining and most original satire on spy melodrama. ... The film is full of action and hilarious sequences, in which satirical fun is made of political circles, established traditions, and politicians themselves, while the scenes in the Tower are delicious."
