Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of July 11, 1980 that the film was a "complete miscalculation from beginning to end" ("total miscalculation from beginning to end"). The direction of almost every scene shows a "deadly creeping" tempo, the dialogues would be recited "discouraged monotonously". The solution to the secret is "numbingly uninteresting".

Cinema magazine wrote that the "dog comedy" was silly. Only the film dog Benji pleased the audience.
