The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A conventional and unpretentious second feature, this is, within its limits, an improvement on most Danziger productions, thanks largely to agreeable performances from the three principles. Philip Saville's soft-spoken thug is effectively spine-chilling and the fights, if somewhat vicious, are realistically staged." [3]
