Steamboat Bill, Jr. was a box office failure [7] and received mixed reviews upon its release. Variety described the film as "a pip of a comedy" and "one of Keaton's best." [8] The reviewer from The Film Spectator appointed it "as perhaps the best comedy of the year thus far" and advised, "exhibitors should go after it."
However, the second preview screening was more disappointing than the first, and Keaton continued cutting the film down to a very short 5-reel film. Producer Joseph Schenck wanted Keaton to add another 1,000 feet of film (approximately 11 minutes), but Keaton refused. [8] The film was retitled Sherlock Jr. and released on April 21, 1924.
