The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The melodramatic plot might well have given scope for an interesting character study of Jacques Vauthier; but the director, George More O'Ferrall, makes little use of filmic effects to suggest the extraordinary loneliness of a man unable to hear, see or speak, confronted with a charge of murder. As played by Kieron Moore, Vauthier is a pathetic rather than a sympathetic character, and he never really comes to life: were there some attempt to show the world as Vauthier sees it rather than to show Vauthier through the eyes of the other characters, the task of making a convincing character of a blind deaf-mute might be easier. Michael Redgrave, as the ageing lawyer, seems a little uncertain as to the proper interpretation of the part, and some of his lines are lost on their way through a large ragged beard. The production is on the whole adequate, although the final whodunit denouement appears out of key with the subject."
Leslie Halliwell said: "Plodding courtroom drama with familiar faces in unconvincingly French guise."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Competent-plus cast and interesting plot, although drama doesn't touch many emotional chords."

In The New York Times, its film critic Bosley Crowther concluded: "The Green Scarf is a mottled and unconvincing thing."
According to Kinematograph Weekly the film was a "money maker" at the British box office in 1954.
