Today's Cinema no.9940 (17 September 1971) p.12
An amusing idea providing a simple, good and sufficient reason for a host of dolly birds to appear starkers. And the best of British luck to them. But one amusing idea doesn't make a full length film and the slim plot is padded and puffed with mini-incidents that become decreasingly funny. The more desperate efforts to raise a laugh introduce sick humour that is quite out of place in an otherwise inoffensively saucy caper that we could see on the telly if the girls removed fewer clothes. I can't say that a VD clinic strikes me as the idea setting for a jolly-haha comedy sketch. Ah well, each to his taste. – from a review by Marjorie Bilbow
