In his review in the New Statesman Ralph Partridge noted the similarities between Superintendent Hanslet and Inspector French in Crime at Guildford by Freeman Wills Crofts, and concluded "Mr. Rhode has added another satisfactory but undistinguished volume to his shelf.". The Times Literary Supplement described it as a "pleasantly written, well-constructed book".
