Reverting to the more familiar Phillip Theatre revue format, following Beyond the Fringe (1962) and the musicals A Wish is a Dream (1962) and Flaming Youth (1963), William Orr handed the directing role for Do You Mind! to James Fishburn. Romola Costantino, the Sydney Morning Herald's theatre critic, suggests that the change of direction had 'restored the true tang of quality to Phillip Theatre revue'. Costantino goes on to add:

'It's not that the material of the sketches and songs shows any startling advance in scope or quality... what sets the new revue apart from many of its predecessors is the firmness with which the whole program and its performance have been shaped... here at last is something of the shining identity that this theatre has been seeking with increasing desperation since its forced removal from its uncomfortable but loveable premises in Phillip Street' (11 May 1963, p.11).
