John Hampson writing in The Spectator gave it a fairly negative review alongside Vicki Baum's Berlin Hotel and noted "here again are major and minor figures, love-affairs, raids, and alarms, amid the panoply of modern war. And yet nothing has been added to the epic of Malta that we didn't already know. However, its film possibilities will be obvious to the cinema fan". In the event the novel was not adapted for the screen unlike several others of Brophy's work, although much of its settings and themes featured in the 1953 film Malta Story.
