Critical reception
editMonthly Film Bulletin said "As its title indicates, Peter Walker's latest piece of titillatory entertainment is largely a peg on which to hang an assortment of bikinis and diminutive undergarments. But after a relatively lively start, this nonsensical and determinedly risqué farce plods humourlessly on its way with leaden dialogue, wooden acting and rough sound recording."[4]
