The Sydney Morning Herald's Richard Coleman gave it a bad review stating "The makers of Super Sleuth obviously thought that by making it a spoof they didn't have to worry about the terrible script, hammy acting and bad production. They were right. It was beyond worrying about."{{Citation | last= Coleman | first= Richard | title= Up the kapok tree with David and an arrow poison frog | url= | periodical= The Sydney Morning Herald | date= 18 August 1984 }}
