Jasper Sharp of Midnight Eye said, "Coming across like a deranged hybrid of
Clint Eastwood's
Play Misty for Me (1971) and
Robert Aldrich's
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), this sinister social satire of Stepford Wives-esque suburban aspiration set against the glamorous world of big budget sports promotion is impossible to pigeonhole as anything other than a Suzuki film." David Carter of Film Fanaddict described the film as "a vastly different film from his previous body of work, but one that retained many of the stylistic touches for which he was known and contained more than a few subtle digs at corporations, fame and the entertainment industry." ==References==
