Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Something of a variation on the usual Children's Film Foundation productions in that the villains are played straight: This certainly makes for greater plausibility, and despite some inconsistency in the playing and a rather feeble attempt af comedy, there is ample compensation in Judy Cornwell's splendid villainess and the suspense is quite effectively sustained."
