Critical response
Hal Erickson gave the picture a generally favourable review in The New York Times, proclaiming it to be 'Too expensive for a "quota quickie" but not quite costly enough to qualify as an "A" picture, Happy is a shapeless but generally satisfying vehicle for several of England's top music-hall attractions.'[https://web.archive.org/web/20160310004316/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/94286/Happy/overview The New York Times Movies]
