Variety gave a mixed review, calling the film "slickly shot" though criticising the plot and dialogue as "ordinary".[1] The New York Times was much more critical, stating the English dialogue seemed like "badly translated German" and the plots "breathless incoherence [was] matched only by its wild implausibility."[2]
