Reception



In a contemporary review, 'Variety' stated that "if audiences are not yet satiated with spy spoofs, United Artists' 'Matchless' may get an appreciative reception from the action market." The review noted that "the film doesn't take itself too seriously and makes some clever gibes at the expense of military and intelligence powers of all nationalities", but that "uneven acting and technical credits hamper the film's chances of rising above programmer status."
