Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is an unexceptional but pleasant little film which has the benefit of some amusing dialogue and bright playing; but the humour dwindles away towards the end and the attempted suspense of the final minefield episode is noticeably out of key with the rest."
