Critical reception
editThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The weak story, which leaves little to the imagination and carries no conviction, seldom rises above the insipid level of a TV playlet. Characterisation and direction are without interest."[3]
TV Guide writes that "an intriguing premise suffers from some unbelievable plot twists and turns".[4]
According to moviereviewsandnews.com, the film is "lifted above the mundane by an earnest performance by Gordon Jackson and a decent supporting cast. It's a little too obvious and too reliant on coincidence, though, and the final scenes lack both credibility and emotional resonance."[5]
