Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A combination of modest murder mystery and mild striptease club acts, this unassuming production has little to recommend it except the unexpectedly good characterisation of the tragedy-hit but persevering Bert."[3]
Hal Erickson, in Allmovie, called it a "lurid British potboiler."[4]
