Critical reception

'' The Monthly Film Bulletin'' wrote: "A drab and dispirited film which moves with painful lethargy towards a predictable conclusion." In ''British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959'' David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Depending on what you read, the film is either 'Drab and dispirited' or 'exciting fare'. Certainly offbeat, though, and Driscoll is sympathetic."
