Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This kind of well-mannered, guessing game detective thriller seems rather old-fashioned. The acting, in the English drawing-room style, with its adjunct, the well-modulated speaking voice, is conscientious but unimpressive, and Claude Dampier imitates the kind of countryman especially reserved for this type of picture. A dull crime story."[3]

Chibnall & McFarlane called the film "an incoherent murder mystery".[1]

TV Guide wrote: "Not very interesting."[4]
