Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A 'confessional' sex comedy neither startling, erotic or amusing, but none the less well up to the usual level of British witlessness. The jollifications include an attempted seduction with a sausage stuck upright in a plate of mashed potato, a reprise of the duel scene in Barry Lyndon, and Liz Fraser, a still game veteran of the genre, doing overblown imitations of Mae West and Marlene Dietrich."[2]
