Reception The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Just another quota picture with novelettish story of shopgirl's masquerade to win son of former employer. Staged in department store, apartment and country mansion interiors, film uneventful, but scores with humorous interludes, due mainly to engaging nonchalance of Henry Kendall in leading role. ... Passable fare for smaller popular halls and very uncritical patrons. It is difficult to work up much enthusiasm for this effort, which, cast in the novelette vein, progresses to a climax that can be seen early on."
Picturegoer wrote: "Henry Kendall and Minnie Raynor do their best to impart life to this wholly ingenuous and novelettish story. It is very hackneyed in construction and theme and it says something for the stars that they are able to make it even as good as it is."
