The over-all work remains a courageous example of a personal kind of film making that, to me, leads nowhere.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
I didn't hate it, although it affected me in bewildering and sometimes unpleasant ways. I didn't find it a success, but I found it an audacious attempt, and it's filled with images impossible to forget.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
Though much of the content is scandalous, the title is ultimately an accurate one -- the sensibility behind the images is innocent, enthusiastic, and childlike.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Potentially one of the most scandalous films ever made -- except that it has been little seen outside France and has not aged well.
