== Reception ==

''Kine Weekly'' wrote: "The stage and radio, represented by Renee Houston and Claude Hulbert, combine to bring laughter and gaiety to this lively comedy atsurdity, a blending of all that experience has proved to be essential to popular light entertainment. The familiar twists, gags and complications are put over with irrepressible enthusiasm, and the simple, straight forward fun is certain to register with the masses.&nbsp;... Night-club scenes are elaborate, the musical accompanimentt is tuneful, the interiors are artistic, and lighting and photography are excellent."<ref>{{Cite journal|date=9 March 1933|title=Their Night Out|id={{ProQuest|2338222746}}|magazine=Kine Weekly|volume=193|issue=1351|pages=19}}</ref>

''Picturegoer'' wrote: "Good promise is shown by Renee Houston, the famous music hall artiste&nbsp;... Claude Hulbert is fair as the asinine husband, and the supporting cast does quite well. It is all very familiar fare, with a liberal sprinkling of slapstick played in a time-honoured manner and hardly notable for subtlety."<ref>{{Cite journal|date=6 June 1933|title=Their Night Out|id={{ProQuest|1776923567}}|magazine=Picturegoer|volume=3|issue=|pages=22}}</ref>
