Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A left-over from the series of 'B' pictures formerly made by the Danzigers, and ironically, somewhat superior to most of its predecessors. Though modest and presented without frills, it is capably acted, and commands enough standard courtroom tension to keep it going. The main weakness lies in the contrived ending." TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, calling it an "occasionally interesting courtroom drama."
