Critical reception
Cash Box wrote that the album contained "beautiful music" and a "score [that] offers many different moods and is strikingly rendered under the direction of R. Vadim". Billboard wrote that Brigitte Bardot in her one song "proves more than competent as a singer in the Gallic style". HiFi/Stereo Review wrote that "the Paul Misraki score is a pleasantly sunny, Gallic affair" that "uses Latin rhythms to build up to a torrid climax".
