The Hunted Lady was a made-for-television film that received a mixed reception upon its release. While some critics praised its suspenseful elements and Martin Sheen's performance, others found the plot predictable and the execution somewhat uneven. It served as a fairly standard crime thriller for its time, fitting within the television movie landscape of the late 1970s.

• Praised for its suspenseful chase sequences and Martin Sheen's compelling performance as the determined detective.

• Criticized for a plot that felt formulaic and a pacing that occasionally dragged.

• Noted as a competent, albeit unremarkable, crime drama for television.

Google audience: Audience reception is largely unavailable due to its nature as a made-for-television film from 1977. General consensus from available older reviews suggests it was a serviceable thriller, appreciated by some for its tension but found wanting in originality by others.

The film was originally intended to be a pilot for a potential TV series, but the series never materialized.
