Two minutes 48 seconds of cuts by the BBFC have taken the edge off some unnecessary sadism, but the brush-written credits remain the highlight.

Sex in this film looks so nonecstatic that a better title might have been "3D Sex and Zen: Zero Child Policy."
Mike Hale, New York Times

3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy fails to live up to either its promise or title.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

"3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" finds it is love, not sex, that rules the human heart, a sweet and conventional idea regardless of the technology of the film's projection.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

Auds get an eyeful of flesh, served with sadistic, spasmodic laughs.
