Reception
Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A dishearteningly unfunny sex comedy which discloses a painful package of unfailing bad taste (the most offensive sequence concerning a homosexual who believes he has given birth to a chimpanzee), stupefyingly dull sex scenes, and a collection of double entendres so ancient that they almost constitute some kind of intriguing pre-history of blue comedy."

Léon Hunt describes the film along with Ford's What's Up Superdoc! (1978) as a "return to the Carry On films' favourite setting to explore slap-and-tickle amidst the bedpans."

Sarah Street wrote that Ford's films Commuter Husbands (1972), Keep It Up, Jack (1973), The Sexplorer (1975) and What's Up Nurse (1977) were "films with salacious titles designed to titillate dwindling audiences with their suggestion of breaking taboos."

Michael Hawkes awarded the film 3 out of 5 stars.
