Critical response
Kine Weekly wrote: "The film is brightly dressed in the modern manner and the general unreal atmosphere of the plot is expliained by the fantasy revelation at the end. The young man's adventures are with a variety of young women, but the sex is, of necessity, somewheat repititious and the direction includes some annoyingly distracting technical gimmicks."

In The Monthly Film Bulletin Nigel Andrews wrote: "A charmless and flashy film which attempts to combine customary sex fare with evocations of Swinging London and a colourful cross-section of modern womanhood. But for all Donovan Winter's attempts to vary the menu, the appetite is soon cloyed by the monotony of the presentation. Each encounter is punctuated with a symbolic shot of a butcher cutting up meat; the dialogue is card-indexed according to social type ("Turn me on! Freak me out, man!" croons the hippie); and Christopher Matthews' change of wardrobe for each bird fails to alleviate the vulgar tedium of his adventures."

Variety said: "The picture which, at least, is short, really adds up to very little but may have a basic appeal to "swingers" and young Lotharios will roving eyes for birds."

The film was negatively received by Derek Malcolm of The Guardian and Nina Hibbin of the Morning Star.
