'Los Angeles Times' panned the film as thematically repetitive, "daringly banal", and a failure as a sex farce because so little of it is actually comedic.Quoted in Moss (2017). Billiards film review site '8 Ball on the Silver Screen' also criticized the film for its unbelievable billiards scenes that indicated no training of Nielsen for the role.
