Critical reception
The Radio Times wrote, "Brendan Price does his best to rattle his pintas with panache. The most significant thing about this bawdy trash is what it says about the state of the British film industry at the time – it's sad that this was the only worthwhile work Diana Dors, Roy Kinnear and other talented actors could find";[3] while Sky Movies wrote, "much in the vulgar mode of dozens of 'Confessions', 'Adventures' and 'Up' sex romps of the Seventies, this one-man project (actor Derren Nesbitt wrote, produced and directed it) is a touch above that level, if only because its girls are at least sexy and its veteran cast is full of names who have seen better films and better days."[4]
