Television, Angela and Elkan Allan asked "Can Anthony Newley ever remember that he is just a pleasant light comedian and settle down to earn an unpretentious living?" Michael Billington of The Illustrated London News wrote: "The kindest thing for all concerned would be that every available copy should be quietly and decently buried." Rex Reed also savaged it: "If I'd been Anthony Newley I would have opened it in Siberia during Christmas week and called it a day." Roger Ebert's review in the Chicago Sun-Times, on the other hand, praised the film's ambition: "It is strange, wonderful, original, and not quite successful. It is just about the first attempt in English to make the sort of personal film Fellini and Godard have been experimenting with in their very different ways. It is not as great as 8½ but it has the same honesty and self-mocking quality." Collins later cited the film as contributing to her divorce from Newley. In 2006, the movie won a readers' poll in the Chicago Tribune as "The Worst Movie Title Ever." Songs The movie songs were released on a record album.
