'Producer Jack Hays has another winner in this Educational Kiddie Burlesk. For audience value, it has plenty to go on. A set of very clever kids, hardly any of them over five, give their version of crooked politics. An honest senator, susceptible to the wiles of a vamp who tries to frame him with the bribe of a large cake in the interest of a crooked rival, is the theme that these diapered politicians put over. Charles Lamont directed this take-off on politics, in a very capable manner. The dialog was intelligently spoken. The action is fast and altogether the laughs and gags made the short well up to the standard of the spice of the program.'
(Hollywood Filmograph, March 11, 1933)
'Der Produzent Jack Hays hat mit diesem 'Educational Kiddie Burlesk' einen weiteren Gewinner. Was den Zuschauerwert anbelangt, so hat es viel zu bieten. Eine Gruppe sehr cleverer Kinder, von denen kaum eines älter als fünf Jahre ist, gibt ihre Version von korrupter Politik zum Besten. Ein ehrlicher Senator, der den Machenschaften eines Vamps auf den Leim geht, der versucht, ihn mit einer großen Torte zu bestechen, um die Interessen eines betrügerischen Rivalen durchzusetzen, ist das Thema, das diese gewindelten Politiker aufgreifen. Charles Lamont inszenierte diese Persiflage auf die Politik auf sehr gekonnte Weise. Die Dialoge sind intelligent gesprochen. Die Handlung ist rasant, und die vielen Lacher und Gags machen den Kurzfilm zu einer gelungenen Abwechslung im Programm.'
