      Critical reception


      Kine Weekly said: "Taut, skilfully-carpentered espionage melodrama. ... The picture eschews subtelty, but what it lacks in finesse it gains in robustness."
      Boxoffice said: "A minor British-made spy melodrama, completely lacking in marquee value, will satisfy undiscriminating moviegoers in supporting spot on neighborhood duals. ... The picture wastes little time on human interest details and, this coupled with the unfamiliar players, gives the film a documentary flavor."
      Leslie Halliwell said: "Commendable second feature with narrative virtues absent in most big films."
      Britmovie calls the film a "decent second-feature espionage drama."
