Reception

Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A− in his review.[2] Love, Lies and Murder was released in DVD format on July 24, 2012. Contrary to what some believe, this DVD version is not a bootleg as it was released by CBS Home Entertainment as a DVD-R which is Manufactured On Demand. Love, Lies and Murder was also released on Home Video on January 27, 1992 as a two-tape set and as a four side two disc Laserdisc set.

The second part was the second-highest viewed primetime show for the week of February 18–24, 1991 while, however, the first part was the 23rd most-watched show of the prior week, where it was beat in the ratings by the special titled Very Best of Ed Sullivan.
