The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unlike other films in this series, this case of dishonour among thieves catches something of the true Edgar Wallace flavour. The plot's intricacies are carried with a flourish and the characters' ingenious capacity for double-crossing is enjoyably portrayed by a strong cast. As the persistent cop, Bernard Lee is so good he almost upsets the balance of this essentially modest entertainment."^[3]
