The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Though the title and subject suggest the worst, Stork Talk turns out to be a softly sentimental little comedy that doesn't overwork the ribald opportunities of its plot. There are a few mild maternity jokes, and although the script is without wit and substance it manages – after a leisurely start and with the help of a pleasing newcomer, Nicole Perrault, as Martine – to inject a modicum of poignancy into the crude situations. Tony Britton is hard to take as a light comedian, and the other roles are for the most part thankless."[3]
