Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Yet another reworking of the male chauvinist's dream theme – the surefire aphrodisiac – lifted to a degree by an unusual hint of sophistication in the script, a decent caricature of a Teddy-rocker by Billy Hamon, and one modestly funny running gag in which a M*A*S*H-like tannoy periodically bleats out inane announcements in the background ('Coitus has started in Room 26 – please do not interrupt us!'). For the rest, however, the British sex-comedy formula is rigidly and tiresomely adhered to, complete with continuous sexual innuendo, pop-eyed double-takes, bouncing breasts and unconsummated couplings. In other words, the usual compendium of Anglo-Saxon hang-ups played for laughs – and losing." [2]
