The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Edgar Wallace's worldly, thinly ingenious story is here transposed to a contemporary suburban setting, rather effectively photographed under snow, and unimaginatively acted in the expressionless whisky-swilling convention of British second features. All the characters are pretty repulsive, and are allotted an appropriately nasty fate. Disbelief tends to dispel suspense, and the end is altogether too expected. The sound, though important to the plot, is rather over-recorded." [5]
