Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A routine crime thriller, not always persuasive (the robbery scenes are quite unconvincing) and – apart from Olive Sloane's amusingly larger-than-life character study – uninteresting in performance."

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Most unconvincing monor thriller; Olive Sloane's ripe performance at least punctuates the groans."
