Reception
The ''Los Angeles Times'' said the film was "not much different from his
eyer'sprevious efforts... Meyer has trouble keeping abreast, so to speak, of the times. This is because Meyer has such a clean mind for a man who makes dirty movies... his films seem positively healthy alongside much of the current Hollywood and European product."
The ''New York Times'' thought the film was "no longer particularly erotic."
