of Ceremonies Kay Kendall as slave girl who asks about her future at orgy Robert Wyndham as Lion-Keeper Critical reception Sky Movies said, "the stars look as though they're having fun, which was just the tonic for wartime audiences, though it all looks less than sparkling now." George Perry wrote in Forever Ealing, "the film is not of great consequence. The script ... Was thick with laboured gags likening aspects of Roman times to wartime Britain." Graeme Clark wrote in The Spinning Image, "played with a mixture of cheeky charm and a sly wink from the cast, and notable for its casting of black singer and actress Elisabeth Welch in a refeshingly non-stereotypical role for its day, if you catch the references then you should have fun with Fiddlers Three. Yes, it's nonsense, but it's nonsense well done." Time Out called the film a "cheeky wartime British comedy with odd imaginative touch (associate producer Robert Hamer reshot a good deal of it)."
