Reception
A review at MyMovies.it commented, "The spectator of Sodoma will laugh but of a bitter laugh. The one that make you think. As always happens with comedy when it hits the mark." Another review found, "Pirozzi manages to propose a surreal comedy which, while quoting numerous scenes present in the film of reference, more or less consciously reveals its absurdly tragic dynamics."
A retrospective review lamented the somehow limited distribution of the film in Italian theaters.
