 Joseph Ziemba from "Bleeding Skull" gave the film a negative review, writing, "Crude effects, both visually and audibly, walk hand-in-hand with people just hanging out and being themselves.Boredom sets in…then disappears…then sets in again.Beyond all of that, "Milpitas" is an earnest portrait of an entire community having good clean fun in Smalltown, USA during the mid-1970s."
