Kine Weekly wrote: "Hard-boiled melodrama. ... The leading characters take it as well as dish it out; night club divertissement punctuates the rough stuff; and its salutary and spectacular climax is clear proof that crime doesn't pay. Good British 'second'."^[3]

Picturegoer wrote: "When it comes to crowding a quart into a pint pot, this melodrama wants a bit of beating. Bandits raid a safe, hold an innocent girl hostage, commit murders and are overtaken by retribution, in under the hour."^[4]

In British Sound Films David Quinlan wrote: "Second-feature is better than it sounds, holds the attention."^[5]
