The Brooklyn Eagle found it a "lightweight but plenty funny" film that "depends on inspired dialogue and the Judy Holliday personality for its appeal...Her dialogue...always has an unexpected twist, and Judy handles it with her now famous skill. However, the story is so meager that the film leads a kind of void in its wake. It is more of a character study, if that term can be applied to a Judy Holliday film, than a plot-sized picture...It's sophisiticated and bright as it stands, but it could have been expanded into a more involved story without losing any of its comedy."
