Australian film review site Urban Cinefiles three reviewers summarized the film as favourable. The New York Times concluded As farfetched as the movie is ... conveys an engaging zest for uppercrust mischief. The two stories come together in the hurtling final lap as Wayne confronts Simon in his country house while Jim puts his perfected program into operation. The upshot is a whopper of an ending that is as silly as it is satisfying. The New York Post gave the film 1.54 stars, stating Despite a crafty premise and a clever kink in the tale that almost saves it, Connolly isnt dexterous enough to achieve the Hitchockian level of suspense the movie needs. The Los Angeles Times stated Connolly might well have constructed a brisker, more exciting picture with more vivid and involving characters. As it is, the film takes too long to become truly compelling.
