Reception
editTV Guide said "this quickie from Roger Corman tries to make the most of its weak novelty of taking place in the Latino community of Los Angeles. Ethnicity gets smeared over Kiss Me a Killer's hackneyed plot like hot sauce; here's an erotic thriller that intercuts its gratuitous nude scenes with gratuitous shots of rice and beans cooking on the stove. Call it The Caballero Always Rings Twice."[4]
