Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An Involved and indifferently made thriller; the actors give the impression that they have all been there before." Radio Times called Park Plaza 605 a "fair British B-feature." In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Indifferent thriller with tired performances."
