Critical reception



A reviewer in 'TV Guide' wrote that "the premise of this film is compelling, but the treatment is empty-headed"; and 'The Spinning Image' asked, "and those hoping for titillation? As with so much of the sexually-themed cinema of this (British) nation, they were offered it with a moralistic angle, as if telling the audience off for their prurience."
