Critical reception

edit

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Another attempt, more laborious than most, to catch the style and insouciance of de Broca and the like. Few of the guest appearances escape an incongruity between timeworn personality routines and all the nouvelle vague trappings, though Miriam Karlin is pleasingly astringent as the hero's secretary. It's the archness of the thing that really appals, however."[2]

In the Radio Times, David Parkinson wrote, "Craig here reveals the comic flair that enabled her to become the epitome of scatty domesticity in sitcoms like Not in Front of the Children and Butterflies. Fuest's script strives too hard to be offbeat, however, notably in the creation of a goose-stepping interior designer."[3]
