Reception

The News Journal called it "servicable enough as a vehicle for George Scott."^[2]

The Philadelphier Inquirer felt it was "well acted and well staged - but as a mystery it wasn't very mystifying."^[3]

Broadcasting magazine wrote, "From the opening scene of the new gardener digging a hole (for his employeress?) to the closing revelation (no, it wasn't the butler), the Aug. 20 Kraft production, "We Haven't Seen Her Lately," was excellent. It fulfilled each word of the show title for it had mystery, theatre and those enticing Kraft commercials in color."^[4]
