Reception

Photoplay gave Get Your Man a positive review in its February 1928 issue, saying "Josef Swickard and Harry Clarke [sic] are splendid actors, well cast. Charles Rogers has a boyish appeal that is winning him many friends. This story may be fragile but the photography is beautiful and Clara continues to charm and fascinate." It was rated as one of the best pictures of the month.[5]

gollark: Indeed.
