The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An efficient low-budget chase thriller, neither particularly credible nor (in its hectic opening escape scenes) original, but sufficiently taut and showmanlike to grip the attention." Picturegoer wrote: "The escape opening is somewhat routine, but the chase leads up excitingly to a twist ending." Picture Show wrote: "There is nothing out of the ordinary about the first half of the film, although it never drags, but it picks up towards the end when there is an entertaining mixture of action, humour and feminine appeal." TV Guide wrote "The suspense builds up towards the end, but the plot is unrelentingly downbeat." Noirish noted "one of those unexpected gems that occasionally bring joy to the B-feature watcher’s heart." ==Home media==
