Reception

Maury Dexter says the film was the most successful of all the ones he made at AIP.[2]

From Nostalgia Central:

There is plenty of rambunctious vitality and crude humour but the film never stoops for the cheap thrill. It’s sharply-paced, well-photographed, and the whole production has a great sense of freedom.[3]
