Battling Beauties received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many finding its plot predictable and its action sequences uninspired. While some acknowledged Cheryl Ladd's performance, the film was generally seen as a formulaic thriller that failed to distinguish itself within the genre.

• The film suffers from a weak script and uninspired direction.

• Cheryl Ladd delivers a competent performance but cannot elevate the material.

• The action sequences are pedestrian and lack genuine tension.

Google audience: Audience reviews for Battling Beauties are scarce, but general sentiment indicates a disappointment with its generic plot and underdeveloped characters, though some viewers found it a passable, if forgettable, B-movie.

David Niven, in one of his final film roles, plays a more distinguished character than usual, a departure from some of his earlier, more comedic parts.
