Critical reception

The [Monthly Film Bulletin] wrote: "The atmosphere of the fairground and the speedway is quite well caught, but the picture is otherwise mediocre. Most of the characters are weak-willed or unpleasant, the ending is trite and the playing, with the exception of Hermione Baddeley's effective appearance as a fortune teller, without distinction."
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: "There's nothing new in the story and the performances of Maxwell Reed and Laurence Harvey have little to commend them. But director Lewis Gilbert's thoroughly nasty atmosphere conjured up in a place dedicated to enjoyment makes this unusually effective movie worth watching."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Gloomy, depressing number; long too."
Leslie Halliwell said: "Glum quickie which was oddly popular."
