 "The Morning Post" called the piece a great success, and particularly singled out "a sort of grotesque petticoat quadrille, danced by four "danseuses", and encored uproariously.Referring to the absence of Nellie Farren, the theatre's usual "principal boy", and Fred Leslie, its usual star comedian, who were in America, "The Era" commented, "There is no disguising the fact that the absence of the principal members of the Gaiety troupe is appreciably felt"; the paper expressed reservations about the piece and some of the cast, but acknowledged that the Gaiety audience had shown great enthusiasm for the piece and the players.
