The film received a mixed reception upon its release, with critics often pointing to its pulpy, B-movie sensibilities. While some appreciated the straightforward thriller elements and the performance of Leo Genn, others found the plot predictable and the execution lacking.

• Praised for its tense atmosphere and Leo Genn's solid performance as the conflicted agent.
• Criticized for a somewhat formulaic plot and pacing issues in certain sections.
• Seen as a decent, albeit unremarkable, wartime espionage thriller.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce for this film, but those available generally consider it a competent B-movie thriller with some engaging moments, though not a standout in the genre.
