Critical reception
TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, and called it an "average British programmer". The Radio Times, again giving the film two (but this time out of five) stars, wrote, "Gordon Parry (in fairness, directing only his second feature) fails to capture the seedy world of gambling dens and backstreet drinking joints."
