Critical reception
Sky Movies gave the film three out of five stars, and wrote, "The `Aldwych' comedy trio of Tom Walls, Ralph Lynn and J Robertson Hare in another of their great laughter hits from the Thirties, this one taking the mickey out of the huntin', shootin' and fishin' brigade. Tom Walls also directs, and keeps the fun fast and frantic. Amusing Tom and Jerry-style stuff from some highly polished farceurs."
