Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is a confused and rather dull thriller badly knit together. The acting is amateurish in the extreme, and the continuity is poor."[3]

Kine Weekly wrote: "Its plot, which hinges on the hero's striking resemblance to a crook, is unabashed 'penny dreadful, but the leading players are reasonably convincing and the direction is not lacking in resource."[4]

Picturegoer wrote: "The story is embellished with a music hall sequence, and songs, and has a certain rough robustness which makes for quite acceptable entertainment."[5]
