In a contemporary review The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A competently made and acted thriller, with pleasant New Forest locations." [3]
TV Guide called it "an uninvolving series entry." [4]
The Radio Times wrote: "perhaps too many scenes are staged in hotel rooms, but the plot rattles along, with Teutonic boffins, petrol smugglers, snooping reporters and French singers armed with doped cigarettes distracting the Temples from cracking the case." [5]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as “mediocre” and wrote: "Runs like a radio script on screen; no triumph for the famous sleuth this time.'' [6]
