Critical reception

Picturegoer wrote: "Most low-budget thrillers rigidly conform to pattern, and this modest British effort is no exception to the rule.... All the salient situations are telegraphed, and thrills are few and far between." [4]

Picture Show described the film as a "neat thriller." [5]

Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film called the film "an uneasy combination of stock characters and complicated plotting." [1]
