Reception

Film reviewer Gary Morris notes that the star of The Princess and the Call Girl film, Carol Levy, has some "charming moments". The film, according to another reviewer, is "cheerfully fluffy and consistently erotic... outside of his Henry Paris titles, stands as Metzger's funniest achievement... a fitting epilogue for the age of sexual freedom; they may not make 'em like this anymore, but as long as these films continue to be appreciated, viewers can relive the experience and have quite a few good, hearty laughs along the way".
