Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A very indifferently made crime melodrama. The succession of sketchy and barely related characters and incidents fails to arouse sympathy or excitement; and the technique – particularly the recording – is surprisingly poor. The only consolation lies in the few appearances of Tod Slaughter in one of his traditional villain roles."^[3]
