Reception
Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Pedestrian handling, a clumsy script and some poor acting from name and local thesps alike squander the story’s potential."

Jud Cost of Magnet called the direction "amateurish" and "hamfisted", the script "lousy" and "cliche-ridden", the cinematography "murky", and the editing "random". Cost also criticised the performances of Mann and Harrison.
