Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This unlikely affair is so unconvincing in its succession of coincidences and improbabilities that it becomes almost disarming. The dialogue, though, is rather worse than the plot, and liberally sprinkled with Americanisms which are partly excused by the fact that the hero is an American actor – who seems to make all his films in this country."
