Following the film premiere Bosley Crowther, writing for The New York Times, noted that '...it is the pictorial magnificence...that especially distinguishes the film. Done with a taste in decoration and costuming that is forceful and rare, the whole thing has a harmony of the visuals that is splendid in excellent colour and CinemaScope.'
