=Critical response=
Luciano E. Soriano of the Manila Standard gave the film a negative review, criticizing its haphazardly-written plot, simplistic humor, and poor production value, all of which he assumes was due to a rushed production. He also noted the film's regular use of toilet humor, which he recognized is a staple for the lead trio's films, stating that "[i]t is offensive but the audience loves it just the same."{{cite news|last=Soriano|first=Luciano E.|title=Aiming for nothing but money|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=8cBNEdFwSQkC&dat=19870910&printsec=frontpage&hl=en|access-date=April 23, 2021|work=Manila Standard|publisher=Standard Publications, Inc.|date=September 10, 1987|page=11}}
