Critic Nathaniel Thompson wrote in his review for Turner Classic Movies that the film "feels more like an intended Pam Grier vehicle as Michelle (Cleopatra Jones' Angela Elayne Gibbs) juggles her time [...] between her nursing job and taking care of the drug dealers who are destroying her friends and neighborhood," and "the other storylines are far less interesting, with Kitty (Jeane Manson) and Joanne (Ashley Porter) getting a grip on a boat racing competition and the best way to wriggle out of their tight nurse uniforms."[3] Writing in Slant, critic Budd Wilkins noted that director "Kimbrough brings a solid televisual style to the film, though the story’s nothing more than boilerplate," and "if you’ve ever wanted to see [actor] Fuller kneed in the nuts and then shanked with a syringe, here’s your chance."[4]
