ReceptionContactmusic.com gave the film a rating of 2/5 wrote, "This boring melodrama has little going for it, proving once again that no one will ever give Swain the chance to appear in a movie that doesn't suck out loud."[2] Film Threat wrote that the film is "so bleak that it actually fails to satisfy, and sympathy is hard to come by for any of the characters, let alone Inez."[3] Scott Foundas of Variety called the film a "Southern Gothic melodrama so deep-fried you can just about feel your arteries hardening", and wrote that it "might have worked as a rollicking Tennessee Williams send-up, if only the filmmakers weren’t so unwaveringly straight-faced."[4] References
