Reception Vincent Canby of the ''New York Times'' reviewed the film in 1982, describing it as "a rather enjoyable if often mysterious and esoteric entertainment for someone coming upon the genre for the first time." Canby concluded that the film was "resolutely sentimental and picturesque" and "a most peculiar mixture of stylized prettiness and blood and gore, which is, I suspect, the film's main purpose" and "makes a feeble stab at social criticism" and that a viewer may "not understand everything that's going on in ''The Wolves,'' but I doubt that you'll be bored."
