The film has achieved a remarkable cult status, particularly among cinephiles who appreciate its uniqueness. Modern reviews are surprisingly positive. One reviewer on Letterboxd calls it "the best thing Joe D'Amato ever made" and notes, "It's the only one with any heart... this movie is genuinely romantic and beautiful". Another writes, "This is definitely my favorite X-rated film, maybe the greatest of all time". Some even note that the hardcore scenes are often "artistically intercut with random shots of a monkey scratching his junk," highlighting the film's Italian, "classy" absurdity.
