“Dim even by exploitation standards, this piece of inconsequent trash is set in a night-club which appears to have permanent residents rather than patrons, since the same faces reappear day after day, still striving manfully to react to acts which, by about the film's halfway mark, begin to come round again (sometimes, one suspects, with the footage simply being repeated). The script, if it can be dignified by the name, is abysmal.” – from a review by Tom MIlne
