Reception

In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as having "all the visual clichés associated with directors like Lelouch and Albicocco (sudden focus changes, elaborate zooming on to flower pots and such)" and that "the tone is so monotonous and risible, however, that any intended serious comment is lost in a welter of cheap effects".
