Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun-Times offered a mixed review of the film, not praising it while neither condemning it. He offered that the title accurately described the film and wrote that it was "one of those movies where the lights are on but nobody's at home. It is the most simpleminded movie in many a moon, a vacant and brainless exercise in dreck, and I almost enjoyed myself sometimes, sort of. The movie is so cheerfully dim-witted and the characters are so enthusiastically sleazoid that the film takes on a kind of awful charm." [2] Don Kaye of Rovi wrote that the film was "a dumb-but-hip instant cult favorite that knows - and revels in - its limitations." [3]
Assault of the Killer Bimbos holds a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on seven reviews. [4]
