Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Despite the familiar ingredients of storm and air crash, this film creates little or no suspense – particularly since the rescue plan goes "according to the book". It is altogether an unusually platitudinous affair, and some of the dialogue – particularly that assigned to the two women in the cast – verges on the ludicrous."{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1963 |title=Flight from Singapore |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305832545/596F740522234D2DPQ/1 |journal=The Monthly Film Bulletin |volume=30 |issue=348 |pages=21 |via=ProQuest}}
