Reception
"This is for ardent Harry Barris fans only," a critic wrote for 'Photoplay'. It was written in 'Motion Picture Herald' that Harry Barris was "a far better musician than comedian." However, the critic strongly praised Edgar Kennedy's performance. 'Screenland' described it as a "peppy song-and-dance comedy, with Harry making a personal hit in it." Bobby Vernon's role as a heavy was a change of pace compared to his earlier roles. "He gained a howl when he said 'Scram' in a deep basso voiceit came as such a surprise in a tense moment," wrote a critic for 'Hollywood Filmograph'.
