Critical reception


Monthly Film Bulletin said "An uneasy attempt to marry a thin veneer of pseudo-documentary to a series of O. Henry-ish but determinedly naughty tales, with the whole thing heavily laced by doses of nudity and titillation. With the possible exception of Kathy's story, nicely timed and beautifully acted by Heather Chasen, there is very little wit in evidence, and the film simply drags coyly on and on."
It was described by The New York Times as "a spicy satire of modern manners and mores."
According to Leon Hunt the film represents the suburban wives as both "banal and voracious, passive and rapacious, timid and uncontainable. The Daily Mirror described the characters as a "monstrous regiment of frustrated wives".
Stephanie Dennison sees it as an example of "soft-core porn films" that represent "naughty suburban housewives" as part of "democratization of female sexual desire".
