The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote:Although not the skin-flick that its title advertises, nor the
Rohmer-esque tale that its story suggests, Bedtime with Rosie does continually titillate its audience with the possibility that something either lewd or meaningful is about to occur. But nothing, on either count, ever really happens. The claustrophobia of the one-room set quickly suffocates any ambiguity about the characters while Rilla's static direction keeps the story's flirtation with deceptive appearance and sordid reality firmly anchored in the latter. Even though Harry turns out not to be the inexperienced fellow he claims to be, the script never really investigates the possible ethics of the circumstance (will and/or should Harry defend his "virginity" and principles), but instead emphasises the vulgar implications stemming from it. Outside of the amateur psychology that informs the dream sequences, the film is never funny, and for all of love's victories it is never touching.In ''Offbeat: British Cinema's Curiosities, Obscurities and Forgotten Gems'', Darrell Buxton wrote: "The basic thread of the simple storyline ... may offer little promise, yet the cast to keep it all lively and watchable/listenable, the set design is eye catching ... and Rilla offers an occasional flourish or unusual shot." ==References==
