Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A distinctly tame and routine crime thriller, spiced with a touch of almost ludicrous striptease. Largely static, the story unwinds with little tension, and even the final moments are unexciting, despite smooth enough treatment and an adequate cast."[3]
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 1/5 stars, writing: "The road to justice leads to a Soho nightclub in this tawdry British B-movie. The hit-and-run murder, the sleazy club scenes, the heist and the motor-launch finale are all executed with the minimum of imagination as Maureen Connell puts her personal safety on the line while helping the police catch her detective-brother's killers. Charles Saunders's poor pacing leaves the cast high and dry."[4]
Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film wrote the film contained: "embarrassing cliched dialogue and unconvincing characterisations."[1]
