Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Familiar crime-in-the-sky concoction; one or two faint tremors of tension, but for the most part elementary. Pete Murray gives a grotesque impersonation of an American law man."{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1961 |title=Transatlantic |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305822290/55A7349DE7DF4F4BPQ/2 |journal=The Monthly Film Bulletin |volume=28 |issue=324 |pages=132 |via=ProQuest}}
