Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The emphatic style needed to sustain this implausible thriller (made some time ago and now severely cut) is not forthcoming in the anaemic performances of the cast, so that interest rests with the five deaths scattered liberally throughout the story."
Picture Show gave the film 1/3 stars, calling it a "dreary tale".
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Dreary thriller, severely cut before its release in 1960."
British film critic Leslie Halliwell said: "Very mild and unmemorable thriller."
