Reception Film Weekly wrote: "This film unfortunately fails to be convincing. Intended to be a powerful story of intended revenge thwarted by circumstances (in the shape of a baby's garment), it misses fire through over-emphasis and over-acting. The small parts are well played, but in the main this film lacks entertainment value."
