The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Drearily predictable mystery film, made with undisguised poverty of means and invention poverty."^[3]

The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane describe Feet of Clay as "oddly compelling", "set in a world of prison, drab night streets and stuffy private hotels". At the ending, "once the final flurry of fisticuffs is over, the young lovers embrace, but the acrid atmosphere of the film still hovers over their union".^[4]
