The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that "Colin Free's script is indeed clever. He has given Lo Bianco and Kellerman some of the funniest banter heard in a long time." Another critic in the same paper called it "the last of its disastrous Pelexmovies...in this travesty of a B-rated western, an improbable script saw the improbable hero and heroine simulating The Perils and Pauline in an improbable Hunter Valley."Another review in the same paper said " plot is improbable and unconvincing... The movie's tacit acceptance of his immorality is distasteful. Then we're asked to believe the scruffy seafarer and his shrewish captive fall irresistibly and dfreamily in love. As Bob Hawke might say, "Balderdash"."
