Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The Dublin locations are the principle point of interest in this unconvincing, weakly acted and sluggish second feature, which despite its brevity, barely escapes dullness; a less cautious treatment of the material available in the backgrounds of the city at night might have made a more exciting film." TV Guide called it "a routine crime drama." Britmovie described it as a "compact b-movie based on the novel by Robin Estridge and effectively directed by John Pomeroy that transposes a Third Man style plot to 1950s Ireland."
