Reception The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although the basic situation may prove a trifle over-familiar to all but the smallest children, a script remarkably free of clichés (e.g., Patricia Hayes never once saying of her convict son "He's a good boy"), an intelligent use of locations, and even the occasional idea that would serve in a higher-powered thriller (e.g., Louise converting Green to the straight and narrow with statistics from her pocket calculator) make for fifty-seven minutes without a single longueur. Nice performances all round, with a special mention to Demon."
