Time -
Surprisingly, the film is delightful—mostly because of 15-year-old Hayley Mills, the blonde button nose who played the endearing delinquent in Tiger Bay. The important thing about a children's picture is that children like it. If they are old enough to enjoy some mild mush and young enough to know childhood's most prized secret—that all adults are boobs—they should like this one.

Los Angeles Times -
A charming comedy, liberally laced with slapstick. [26 Dec 1986, p.27]

Variety -
David Swift, whose writing, direction and appreciation of young Hayley Mills’ natural histrionic resources contributed so much to Pollyanna, repeats the three-ply effort on this excursion, with similar success.

TV Guide Magazine -
Hayley Mills plays twins in this innocent, fast-paced comedy, a favorite of countless youngsters in the 1960s. An enjoyable, corny Disney picture with a memorable soundtrack featuring tunes sung by Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello.
