Reviews
James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was "absurd" and relied on "cheap shock effects". The film would lack an intelligent script and big names from the stars.
The lexicon of international films wrote: “A variation on the fashion theme of the murderous couple, which, due to a lack of psychological depth, only reaches the level of a standard thriller. The professional style of the film and Daryl Hannah's good play guarantee a minimum of suspense entertainment. "
