Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "After an amusing hospital scene, what might have been a charming, romantic little fable declines into slapstick and weak jokes. Some of the fooling displays imagination, but too often it is just a case of characters grimacing, falling, spraying each other with water – not to mention all manner of tasteless variations on the hardly uproarious theme of unmarried motherhood. Anthony Newley, giving a broader performance than usual, is given songs to sing, regardless of their relevance to the story. Lionel Jeffries provides yet another of his impressive caricatures. Like Newley, he awaits better material."[3]
