Reception

''Monthly Film Bulletin'' called it "a dull, mechanical affair."TIGER OF THE SEVEN SEAS "(La Tigre dei Sette Mari)" Monthly Film Bulletin; London Vol. 31, Iss. 360, (Jan 1, 1964): 137. ''Filmink'' said Steel "is the male lead for pirate queen Gianna Maria Canale, who beats him in a sword duel and has to rescue him later. Which is surprisingly and enjoyably feminist but presumably helped further dint Steel’s already-fragile ego. Incidentally, the film indicates that the actor’s physical appearance was starting to disintegrate – he was still handsome with all his hair and no gut, but his face was appearing increasingly gaunt and tired."
