The Hollywood Reporter noted: "In a role that paraphrases Stella Stevens in "The Silencers", Sharon Tate reveals a pleasant affinity to scatterbrain comedy and comes as close to walking away with the picture as she did in a radically different role in "Valley of the Dolls".
Leonard Maltin Review: Fourth and final theatrical Matt Helm epic, while hardly a good film, is at least a step up from the last two, thanks to a return by the original director and the re-creation (in Tate) of an engaging klutz a la Stella Stevens in "The Silencers". Story has Helm after crime ring that's hijacked a train carrying a billion in gold. Chuck Norris has one line with Dino in a bar and Bruce Lee is credited as film's "karate advisor".
