The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This biography of the downfall of an ambitious and conscientious young policeman is rather too predictable, and shows little sign of the Edgar Wallace hallmark (it must indeed be a minor and little-known work). It is efficiently enough played, but achieves little conviction, emerging as one of the less successful of the series." ==References==
