Thomas Waugh, writing for 'Cinema Canada', stated that "It is a fine pleasure to see this warmhearted little gem, not only because of positive representation of gays in this year when everyone's gushing about 'Night Zoo', a violent misogynist derivative film that exults in queer-baiting and queer-smashing, but because one of our finest writers has made another all-too-rare visit to the screen."Thomas Waugh, "Jean-Yves Laforce's Le Coeur dcouvert". 'Cinema Canada', December 1987.
