Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin called the film: "one of those shop-soiled little romantic comedies stuck in the bargain-basement where the situations, backdrops and staging are concerned. The jokes at the expense of beatniks and haute couture tend to become tedious, for all that they are put over with energy by a willing cast."^[3]

TV Guide concluded that the film "...fails to produce much excitement, comic or otherwise."^[4]
