 Modern reception of the film has been very negative.Fred Beldin of the film database AllMovie gave the film one and a half stars out of five, noting the film as "a rip-off hack job no matter how you slice it, though its innocent veneer, period charm, and forced wackiness might endear the film to fans of similar goofs like "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" or "The Nasty Rabbit"".Film director Fred Olen Ray noted the film has "all the earmarks of Warren's worst work, but rises above the level of something as tedious as "Petrified World".
