The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The protracted opening is merely an excuse to introduce a few pop numbers before getting down to the business in hand, which is a variation on the familiar nudist-camp visit. The main difference, apart from the Austrian Alps locale, is that only a small party of naturists is concerned, so that the whole thing appears more private and exclusive than the large camps usually seen on these occasions. Otherwise enthusiasts of the anticipated parade of busts and bottoms will find the film proceeding on familiar lines, granted a novel touch in the spectacle of nude skiers; sports activities are this time confined mainly to snowballing and building an igloo. The film concludes with a threat that next year a new locale may be found for a follow-up."{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1963 |title=Eves on Skis |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305824536/7E675B7223504C16PQ/1 |journal=The Monthly Film Bulletin |volume=30 |issue=348 |pages=149 |via=ProQuest}}
