Romantic Times awarded four stars: "Janssen's first Spice title is as wild as its title suggests, offering a little something for everyone - including light bondage, cross-dressing and eunuch-on-eunuch action. A solid plot and characterizations hold it all together nicely, and the ending is unexpectedly sweet."
