[5] Kine Weekly wrote that film "is a cynical puzzle loaded with suspense and topped up with brittle sophisticated humour.
"[6] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Difficult to imagine what attracted Peter Hall to this routine piece of nonsense.
...As in most films centring on a robbery, the ingenuity of the theft itself is the focus of interest, and in this case the preliminaries—which occupy the first half of the film-are fairly tedious in spite of a witty line or two smartly delivered by David Warner.
This sort of amoral junketing needs immense verve and charm if it is to succeed, but though Peter Hall keeps up a good pace and is helped by a jolly Dankworth score, he lacks the necessary lightness of touch.
