Release

The film premiered at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 13, 1996. [2]

Reception

Leonard Maltin awarded the film two and a half stars. [1] Russell Smith of The Austin Chronicle awarded the film two stars out of five. [4]

TV Guide gave the film a mixed to positive review: "On the other hand, Cadillac Ranch is rather more successful in its shallower goal to be a pure action comedy, benefiting from jaunty direction and appealing performances by the lead actresses." [3]

Todd McCarthy of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Lisa Gottlieb’s nimble, unflashy direction certainly represents an improvement on her 1985 debut feature, Just One of the Guys ." [2]
