The critic from The Washington Post said he could think of no two actors less alike than Gene Raymond and Richard Dix (who starred in the 1929 film version), apart from George Arliss and Harpo Marx, and said the film was a "sturdy old warhorse";[3] while Variety wrote, "Too much conversation and too little action makes this mystery comedy, old stage success, only fairly amusing."[4]
