Reception

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times said, "Although Paramount and Henry Aldrich are rushing in where Andy Hardy has long since trod, this slightly reckless incursion is not at all to be regretted. For the droll and uninhibited Master Aldrich, whom radio listeners know exceedingly well, has already proven his stature as a cinematic asset in What a Life. And now, in Life With Henry, which arrived yesterday at Loew's Criterion, he displays in his further adventures an incontestable right to "series" rank. For pleasant family entertainment, we suggest you make Henry's acquaintance."[2]
