Critical reception

TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, calling it a "Well-made story."[4] while Allmovie noted "a rare film of true merit from prolific British "quota quickie" director John Baxter," concluding that "Actual footage shipbuilders at work give this hastily assembled patriotic exercise a veneer of reality."[5]
