The 'Adelaide Advertiser' said that "this film is well prepared from material made available by many of the newsreel producers and, other film companies, and is a very interesting collection of the best photos taken in the past year or so. You will recognise much of it, you will find it all the more interesting because of the sequence and narrative.

The 'Hobart Mercury' wrote:

The inherent drama of the many newsreel shots Is heightened by the excellently spoken commentary, and the film inspires a justifiable pride in the growing strength of the British Empire in its struggle against the totalitarian States. "The Road to Victory" shows Australia and Britain at peace, and compares this peace with the marching feet In other lands.
