Critical reception
In his review of the film in The New York Times, film critic Mordaunt Hall wrote that the "exploits in this tale are scarcely credible, but the film affords some unconscious amusement." Regarding the actors, Hall wrote that "Holt is miscast in the part of the sleuth," "Connolly [...] gives an excellent performance, which at least atones for some of the shortcomings in the film," and that "Miles is acceptable as the torch singer."
