In his interview for the British Entertainment History Project Gates states that he was nervous about the film's reception, so he and co-director Stark adopted the pseudonyms "Billy and Teddy White".

"[1] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A number of potentially funny situations go sadly to waste in this essentially witless offering.

The makers have settled for an 'illustrative' style that reduces every episode to predictable routine, while the attempts at humorous dialogue never rise above the level of smutty double entendre.

Out of a crowded gallery of one-dimensional characters, three performances suggest talents worthy of less limp material: those of Alison King as Margery, of Paul Astor as Peter, and of Maggie Wright, who exudes sensuality and even manages to wring some humour out of her role as Mrs. Simpson.

Directors contemplating this episodic style of sex-comedy might profitably take a look at The Secrets of Sex since, even in the film's censored version, Antony Balch gave a lead which has still to be taken up.
