Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A 'confessional' sex comedy neither startling, erotic or amusing, but none the less well up to the usual level of British witlessness. The jollifications include an attempted seduction with a sausage stuck upright in a plate of mashed potato, a reprise of the duel scene in Barry Lyndon, and Liz Fraser, a still game veteran of the genre, doing overblown imitations of Mae West and Marlene Dietrich."{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1976 |title=Under the Doctor |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305837462/2EED323E2A3F43B0PQ/1 |journal=The Monthly Film Bulletin |volume=43 |issue=504 |pages=259 |via=ProQuest}}
