Reception Kine Weekly wrote: "An interesting murder drama with plenty of action and a story that succeeds in keeping the identity of the murderer in doubt until the very end. Good booking proposition for most audiences. ... Nora Swinburne and Jack Trevor play the parts of Mr and Mrs. Creighton well, with plenty of feeling. ... The drama develops on sound lines, holding the interest all the time."
