Reception
Reviews were generally positive, with Liberal Heritage critic Denis Coderre awarding the film three stars and describing it as a "social reality check." New Democratic Party Heritage critic Bill Siksay said, "I had a good time, I laughed a lot. There was some serious exploration of relationships, but it was fun. What I would find offensive is that anybody would try and enforce their own sense of personal taste to prohibit a movie like that from being made".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
