behind a bit of the furniture." Roger Ebert gave the film a negative review, stating that "Only the haunting memory of Succubus prevents me from naming [Orgasmo] as the worst movie of the year." From retrospective reviews, the online film database AllMovie gave Orgasmo one star, referring to it as less interesting than A Quiet Place to Kill and stating that "there are some interesting moments, but this is clearly the lesser of the two films." Troy Howarth reviewed Orgasmo more favorably in So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films, writing that "the film is a classic example of the so-called sexy giallo, with plenty of cool eroticism and a pleasantly 'mod' aesthetic." Howarth added that director Lenzi "displays a sure and steady hand in gradually unveiling the various plot twists". Home media The film was released on Blu-ray in a box set by Severin Films on 30 June 2020, featuring all four of Lenzi's film collaborations with actress Carroll Baker (including So Sweet... So Perverse, A Quiet Place to Kill, and Il coltello di ghiaccio).
