Entertainment Reviews:
Lewis shows disarming vulnerability caring for the babies, his hot-bottle-induced pratfalls creating pathos along with laughs...
Film Comment
[Director Frank] Tashlin... was all about the gag and helped define Lewis as a walking cartoon, the rubberface spastic adolescent in a grown-up body.

Parallax View
Rating: 3/4 --
Lewis stars in this Frank Tashlin directed film as a gawky TV repairman who falls in love with actress Maxwell.

TV Guide
At the Hampstead Everyman, there is a timely and welcome season of Ingmar Bergman's films.

Rating: 3/5 --
Jerry Lewis plays baby sitter in this knockabout Frank Tashlin comedy.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
The gear-change from manic slapstick (watch out for the berserk hosepipe) to cringing sentimentality about babies and nappies is hard to take.

Time Out
Seems like not much more than a placeholder during this otherwise remarkable time.

Product Description:
Something of a remake of Sturges's THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN CREEK, except with Lewis's slapstick comedy subbing for Sturges's rapid-fire dialogue. Here, Lewis is called upon to baby sit a sexy movie star's (Maxwell) triplets because she doesn't want the public to know that she's had children. Of course, Lewis not only engages in some hilarious pratfalls with the three tykes, but also has trouble figuring out how to lie about who the mother of the triplets is. Since the setup for the film allows Lewis so much room to, well, be Jerry Lewis, this ends up being one his funnier and more satisfying films.
