Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Despite simple and hard-working performances by Joan Reynolds and Leslie Randall, this film remains another lamentable example of the general ineptness of second-feature domestic comedy. The story is soap-opera, the pace slack and the direction lifeless. Michael Shepley and Jon Pertwee overplay their respective roles of peppery employer and zany research chemist in a desperate attempt to win a few laughs. A fight in a detergent laboratory provides a routine slapstick climax."[4]
