The filmdienst (9 /1989) was: " Veber again found the right balance between original - comic situations with some delicious dialogue punch-lines, the power which belongs to a criminal case with bank robbery, hostage-taking and persecution by a huge police force, and the accent of turning to a child; this is perhaps even more convincingly succeeded him as in the fugitives. All in all, both films are equal. "
