Critical response
The critical response to the film was mixed. 'Variety' enjoyed the "total immersion in the couples rocky rapport" and praised the camerawork of Joost Van Starrenburg as well as the editing by Menno Boerema.
In contrast, 'Time Out' summed it up as a "well-meaning, not unintelligent, but rather tiresome look at the volatile relationship of two ill-matched lovers".
