Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Individual characterisation is good, particularly on the part of the male players, and an appropriate atmosphere prevails, but the emotional appeal is slight. ... Guy Newall acts with consummate ease and makes a likeable Charles, Terrance de Marney is good in the difficult emotional role of Michael, while Arthur Varney draws an amusing character-study as an American theatrical producer. Jill Esmond is rather stagey as Claire, and Doria March's performannce as Yvonne is nothing short of a caricature. Arthur Varney, who wrote the story, played a part and directed the picture, has tried to do too much, with the result that the picture has no powerful dramatic sequence. There are too many loose ends, which lead nowhere and only succeed in confusing the main issue. A general sharpening-up, however, could result in the picture becoming a safe attraction for unsophisticated patrons." [3]

Picture Show wrote: "Capably directed and acted." [4]
