Fresh out of college, an aspiring photographer and his ad-man partner set out to take the modeling industry by storm. A lovely model captures the photographer's heart.^[4]

Variety reviewer Kaja said the film had "vivacious visuals and beautiful bodies". Kaja concluded, "Technical credits are above average for the genre, and young actors are ambitious enough to do very good work here."^[3] In a negative review, film critic L.A. Morse wrote, "There is probably a funny, sexy movie to be made about the world of models, but this lifeless and amateurish effort—combining as it does the sexual maturity of a pre-teen with the comic sensibility of a bad sitcom—sure ain't it."^[5] VideoHound gave the film 1.5 stars.^[6] Filmdienst reviewed the film.^[7]
