Reception

Curti stated that the film earned "moderate critical praise" on its release. Tullio Kezich admired the bizarre fantastic atmosphere of the film, while it "exceeds in extravaganzas [...] where it would have taken discipline of choice" Giovanni Grazzini that with this film Aliprandi had "grown up" and despite lacking his own personality as a director he "runs the show".[1]
