Critical response
Tom Buckley of 'The New York Times' panned the film, writing that "Rick Husky's script for this Universal Television presentation is a compilation of cliches. Harry Falks's direction is plodding. However, viewers can try a magic trick of their own. By turning the dial, they can make 'Mandrake' disappear".References
