Reception and awards
'Variety' found its portrayal of the subject matter to be limited: "this semi-comedy of manners and hormones suffers from being much too neat and tidy, aesthetically and dramatically sweeping aside a lot of the messiness that comes with sex."
The film won the Copper Wing Award for best director at Phoenix Film Festival.
