The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Story and presentation are in the worst old-time tradition of theatrical films, for all the world like a left-over from the early Thirties. The acting is weak, and none of the cast seem at ease (understandably, in view of the material), with the exception of Ferdy Mayne who enjoys himself doing a pseudo-Sellers act as an Eshramese diplomat."
Chibnall and McFarlane wrote: "[Morris's] comedy, to use the term loosely, Three Spare Wives (1962), is excruciating."
