Reception Film critic Derek Elley praised the film as a "crackerjack crimer", seeing it as a return by Derek Yee to the grittier style of People’s Hero and "away from the gentler relationship movies for which he’s better known". Elley also noted the film being set during a "nervous period prior to Hong Kong’s handover to China", just before Christmas in 1996. In a paper for Western Sydney University, Hilary Hongjin He opined that this date was chosen to appease the censors for the film's mainland Chinese release, as it helped "pretend that all things bad happened in the ‘corrupted’ British Hong Kong era."
