There's something to offend everyone in this melange of crudely conceived, amateurishly animated stuff.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
A cruel, funny, heartbreaking love note to a city kept alive by its freaks, and always, always dying.
Roger Greenspun, New York Times
Fresh
Bakshi manages to offend nearly everyone from transvestites to mafiosi; but the comic distancing achieved by his army of animators manages to bring off a most difficult kind of humor: the humor of pain and despair.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The quality of the animation is cornflake packet standard, the script -- one or two minor moments excepted -- a disaster.
