Two teens (Helen Shapiro, Craig Douglas) organize a jazz festival despite objections from the mayor (Felix Felton).

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

Lester's brainy sight gags inside the radio station presage the pop-culture blast that he and the Fab Four would deliver two years later.

Time Out

Some of the acts stand up better than others -- Gene Vincent singing 'Space Ship to Mars', Gary (US) Bonds, the witty, modish Temperance Seven -- but even the more boring trad jazz is filmed with such energy and inventiveness that it entertains.

TV Guide

This plot gives Lester an opportunity to creatively showcase a number of pop, rock, and trad jazz stars.

Rated: 2.5/5

Radio Times

The artful mix of music and zany comedy was an indicator of what was to come for Lester when he teamed up with the Beatles for A Hard Day's Night.

Rated: 3/5

This is a prime example of a director making something out of nothing.

An unusual compilation of bands performing their hits based around a cheesy plot. Saw it on TCM.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
