Google audience: Audience reception on Google is not readily available for this older film, but general sentiment suggests it was viewed as a pleasant romantic comedy anthology.

The film is notable for reuniting Alain Delon and Romy Schneider, who were a famous romantic couple in real life and had previously starred together in 'La Piscine' (1969) and 'Sissi' (1955) and its sequels, though 'La Piscine' was not released until 1969 and this film predates it.
