Monthly Film Bulletin said, "Spot-the-blackmailer crime thriller, quite neatly built but sleazy and slackly motivated (why is everyone so crassly opposed to going to the police?). The direction is nondescript; William Lucas, Zena Walker and Brian Nissen act well despite stereotyped roles."
Kine Weekly wrote: "A straightforward story of skulduggery has been directed in a straightforward way, and the secret of who is the master villain is reasonably well kept. The pace, so essential in this type of tale is, however, uneven. It does, however, work up to a rousing climax of a chase and fight and there are some good incidental scraps. William Lucas does an adequate job with the tough, but essentially good-hearted hero, Don, and a charming touch of homely romance is provided by Zena Walker, as his wife. A competent supporting cast does all that is required of it." ==References==
