Critical reception
The New York Times wrote, "the new picture at the Little Carnegie stems from an intriguing idea, and there are several very effective sequences in the drama, plus a fine performance by the Swedish actress, Mai Zetterling. Indeed, if the whole of The Girl in the Painting were as good as its parts, the posting of this notice would be a much more pleasant task. Too much, rather than too little, story and plodding direction are the principal faults"; while Allmovie described it as "an over-orchestrated "guilty pleasure" from the glory days of British romance pictures."
Box office
The film made a profit of £4,100.
