Review: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold, 19 May 1867, 4.

(…) The music of the operetta offered, besides mostly trivialities, some effectively funny parts, less so the lyrics; however. The text was based on a plot that seemed hardly believable and of thin substance with many repetitions. Regarding the performance, it is not feasible to give an opera without singers.
