Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is sad to find this muddled melodrama of no real interest or merit, attributed to Robert Day, whose first film The Green Man [1956] promised such a lively future."[4]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "poor", writing: "Totally unconvincing; quite a hiccup in thecareers of all concerned."[5]
