criticism

"Trivial colportage from the prostitute milieu, unmotivated and without internal logic, only relying on the supposed attraction of a few nude scenes."

- Lexicon of International Films

“A whore from the striptease and prostitute milieu with unfounded reactions and an unmotivated ending, but clearly speculative nude scenes. Unnecessary."

- Protestant film observer
