Variety called it "a well told adventure story for both children and adults, produced with taste and flair. The somewhat thick performances lent the - live-on-videotape production a sense of the swashbuckling; which was all to the good... camera direction was excellent." [1]

John Crosby in the Sacramento Bee wrote he was expecting to be bored "and wound up having an absolutely wonderful time." [2]
