Reception
Roger Feelbert from Pornonomy gave the film a B− rating, stating: “Technically, the film looked great – in particular, the scene between Graham and Colt would have to rank as one of the best shot hardcore scenes I can remember – but suffers from uneven pacing. It’s dark in tone, but not as arresting as, say, 3 AM or Damiano’s Devil in Miss Jones. I’m glad I saw it, but there’s little chance I’ll ever revisit (except, maybe, to check out that Graham/Colt scene.).”
