Visiting novelist J. Hugh Ramsey considers himself both too wise to ever marry and, through hubris, qualified to offer his own wild theories on what constitutes a happy marriage.

In consideration of the three stars, they wrote "Ruggles, Boland and Menjou make a rollicking comedy trio", and predicted that the film "should play a merry tune at boxoffices".

They commended that the entire cast gave their best efforts, and that "even the urbane Mr. Menjou falls into the ditch, as it were, unreservedly, without holding back a shred of himself.
