Release
The film was released in 1931. New York Times film critic Mordaunt Hall credited the film for its comedy and characterizations of the Stars in the movie; however longtime Pickford fans were not used to the loose adult role that the star traded for her earlier ingenuousness and it eventually flopped at the box office.[2]

A copy of Kiki still exists at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. It was released on DVD by Alpha Video on March 1, 2016, the last Mary Pickford talkie to be released.[3] It was the first Mary Pickford film since the formation of United Artists to lose money.[1]
