Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A murky crime thriller, set in Liverpool, slack in tempo and with an over-complicated, unoriginal script. Willoughby Goddard's corpulent Shafto is the best performance of a generally dependable cast."[2]

TV Guide gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "The plot is confusing and often illogical, and the love story only gets in the way of the mystery."[3]

Leonard Maltin gave the film two out of four stars, calling it "just fair."[4]

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "poor", calling the film an "unpersuasive thriller."[5]
