Elvis reprises his role as an over-sexed male, which he last played in MGM’s Girl Happy the year before. It is again an undemanding role for him, but Elvis at least plays it with smiling exuberance, an attitude so important to Presley films in the mid-sixties, when he carried the picture’s entire entertainment load on his back. “Presley delivers one of his customary ingratiating portrayals,” noted Variety, “in usual voice and adept at comedy.”
