Reception

Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily considered that rather than delivering something daring or subversive (as the title may suggest), Gay "seems to have locked the door to his comfort zone and thrown away the key", assessing that while "Gay at half throttle is never less than enjoyable", the film's dialogues are "not always as sharp as they think they are".[3]
