The film was released in Poland on 11 December 1936.

The film is a "comedy of errors set in the world of artistic elites", described as follows by a contemporary review in the Kurier Warszawski: "The farce is bursting with humor. Of course, this is carefree and unpretentious humor."{{Cite web |title=Maria Hirszbein {{!}} FINA na Festiwalu Warszawa Singera |url=https://www.fina.gov.pl/aktualnosci-i-publicystyka/maria-hirszbein-fina-na-festiwalu-warszawa-singera/ |access-date=2025-02-20 |website=Filmoteka Narodowa - Instytut Audiowizualny |language=pl-pl}} The film is considered a good example of the use of cabaret in Polish film in the 1930s.{{Cite book |last=Goscilo |first=Helena |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=auy3EAAAQBAJ&dq=Papa+si%C4%99+%C5%BCeni+Micha%C5%82+Waszy%C5%84ski.&pg=PT46 |title="Singing a Different Tune": The Slavic Film Musical in a Transnational Context |date=2023-04-11 |publisher=Academic Studies PRess |isbn=979-8-88719-129-4 |language=en}}

"It is not really suitable for the screen; it does not have enough "dramatic" tensions, nor enough film situations. The authors of the adaptation were not able to adapt it properly, nor did they find good performers.", wrote {{ill|Maria Leonia Jabłonkówna|pl}}, in {{ill|Wiadomości Literackie|pl}} in 1937.{{Cite web |title=PAPA SIĘ ŻENI (1936) |url=https://www.nitrofilm.pl/strona/lang:pl/filmy/film_info/111/papa-si-eni.html |access-date=2025-02-20 |website=Nitrofilm.pl |language=pl}} In a review in the Kurier Polski, the actors are mentioned as follows: "But the leading role in the cast is not the one played by Fertner as the titular papa, nor the one by Brodniewicz as the tenor, the idol of women, nor that of Lidja Wysocka, who is harmed by certain unfortunate close-ups…Surprisingly, it's Jadzia Andrzejewska who comes forward, this Cinderella of Polish film, wronged by producers who give her mediocre roles, disregarded by directors who think that a character role requires grotesque ugliness…"

The film was restored and digitalised by the Polish Film Institute.{{Cite web |title="Papa się żeni", reż.
