Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Loyal knighthood-versus-treacherous tyranny in the reign of Henry III: unconvincing swordplay, tame characterisation and incident, direction without spark."[4]
TV Guide wrote: "a weak script is saved by some impressive battle scenes and authentic-looking costuming."[5]
