Reception Kine Weekly wrote: "Money Mad is a typical quota picture; the idea behind it is ambitious, but its exploitation is paltry. The story attempts to combine the serious with the comic, but it is so clumsily accomplished thai the result is a film that fails to find a place within the circle of legitimate entertainment. Very moderate supporting feature for unexacting patrons. ... The stazing is far from costly, and the fights, with which the development is besprinkled, are tame."
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Satisfactorily directed, picture has several amusing moments, emerging as pleasant quota offering for the masses. ... There is little original matter in the story, and the quick succession of spies outwitted by Rutherford is somewhat ingenuously handled. There are, however, one or two amusing moments."
