Reviews in German: «In dieser Kriminalkomödie gibt das Traumpaar Fritsch/Harvey vor allem den sie umgebenden Charaktermimen die Möglichkeit zu komödiantischen Höhenflügen. Wallburg, Homolka und Gründgens, letzterer verkörperte die Arroganz vermeintlicher Unfehlbarkeit nahezu perfekt, zeigten, was in ihnen steckte, wenn das Konzept einer filmischen Darstellungsweise entgegenkam. Genau das beabsichtigte das Gespann Reisch/Hartl/Ucicky mit der Verdoppelung des Wortwitzes durch karikierende Einstellungen.» (Reclams Lexikon des deutschen Films, Thomas Kramer, Stuttgart 1995)
