Reviewer Frank Miller in the "Turner Classic Movies" website saw "Jump into Hell" as typical of the period when films were examples of Cold War "jingoism". "The spoken prologue compares the Battle of Dienbienphu to fall of the Alamo and the British evacuation at Dunkirk. An early confrontation between French general Arnold Moss and captured Chinese officer Philip Ahn clearly identifies the enemy not as the Viet Minh, but international Communism. Little is said of the fact that the French defeat, with massive casualties before and after the surrender, helped inspire the nation to withdraw from its former colony. For all its jingoism, the film has its charms, particularly in the performances of an international cast."Leonard Maltin considered "Jump into Hell", as a, "Neatly paced actioner of paratroopers involved in Indochina war."
