Critical reception
'TV Guide' described it as a "well-worn crime picture...A tame entry directed by former World War II documentarian Jackson, whose later works failed to make any impact on audiences". 'Britmovie' wrote, "Pat Jackson, who made his name with such wartime documentaries as 'Western Approaches', intelligently directed this ingenious low-budget crime drama."
