Critical reception


A review in Harrison's Reports said that the film was a good story, keeping the viewer's interest throughout, with "pretty tense suspense" in its second half.[2] It added, "The manner by which the different threads of the story are interwoven in the closing scenes is intelligent, and satisfies the discriminating spectator."[2] The review praised Haver, Armstrong, and Wolheim for their work.[2]
