Critical reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Taut, skilfully-carpentered espionage melodrama. ... The picture eschews subtelty, but what it lacks in finesse it gains in robustness."

Boxoffice wrote: "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 wrote: "Commendable second feature with narrative virtues absent in most big films."

Britmovie called the film a "decent second-feature espionage drama."
