Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Spiced with maudlin sentiment on the one hand and a guest appearance by Tommy Steele on the other, this is a competent but unconvincing crime story. However odd the teaming of Pat O'Brien and Lois Maxwell, the playing is quite adequate."[2]

The Radio Times called the film a "far-fetched B-movie ...Terence Fisher directs with little enthusiasm, but it's worth hanging in there to catch the debut of Tommy Steele."[3]

TV Guide wrote, "it's overplayed and melodramatic but has enough intrigue to make it watchable."[4]
