Critical reception edit

Monthly Film Bulletin said "From the naturist standpoint, this nudist film is much like any other, if a trifle less eventful and duller than usual. The most intriguing feature to the unconverted onlooker is the reasons advanced for the party's enterprise: escape from commercialism and the establishment, freedom from conventions, escape from nuclear hazards. The health-promotion aspect, usually the main propaganda element, is here relatively underplayed."[2]
