"When Skinner's Dress Suit was released early in 1926, at the height of Reginald Denny's considerable popularity, the reviews were exceptionally favorable. All of them commented on the film's 'clean and wholesome appeal' and on its complete lack of the vulgarity and sex which were cropping up in so many other screen comedies. It's the kind of slight Saturday Evening Post tale which has totally disappeared from films today, (directed by William Seiter, whose) best films combined maturity, taste and charm. Slim in plot, the film is nevertheless full of gentle humor and human, likeable characters. There is less slapstick and melodrama than in most of the Dennys, and more situational fun. It takes as its theme the old adage that 'clothes make the man', and comments on the problems of social life and household budgets in the twenties. It's a flavorsome period piece, yet fresh and up-to-date at the same time. Denny and Laura LaPlante work beautifully together, and the film has real production values in its handsome sets and photography." William K. Everson
