Reception Variety called it "a variation on the steamy, dreamy melancholy that permeated "The Hairdresser's Husband". Quentin Curtis of The Independent wrote that it is "Leconte's usual mixture of flaccid eroticism, cheap sensation and strings scraping away on the soundtrack." Steve Beard of Empire gave the film three out of five stars.
