Reception

According to TV Guide, "The three central performances, by Salinger, Carson, and top-billed Kove, are strong, if unexceptional. The direction... is strictly routine, and the action scenes, in which the Americans mow down hordes of enemy soldiers, repetitive."
Reviewer R.D Francis of B&S About Movies wrote, "you know how it all goes: Lots of huts obliterated. Lots of explosions. Lots of stock footage recycling. Lots of bodies fall to the ground in hails of bullets. But you also get pretty solid acting from everyone — Kove's really good — and all of the expected, solid action we expect from Cirio’s Corman-backed war coffers."
