Release

The film was given an 'A' certificate by the British Board of Film Classification . [3] Kine Weekly reported that the UK release of the film was supported in Bradford, Dewsbury, Westcliff and Luton with personal appearances by five of the girls in the cast. [4]

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin said: "Usual traveloguery, usual coy commentary, usual tolerably pretty girls, usual yawning boredom." [5]

In Doing Rude Things David McGillivray wrote: "The style of presentation was so gauche that today it looks like self-parody." [6]

In The World's Worst Movies, Tim Healey described the film as "a mysteriously unerotic experience." [7]
