- Ebert originally gave 2.5 stars, finding it meandering and insufficiently organized; no denominator is stated.
- He later included it in Great Movies with a four-star review; the discussion considers this a genuine reconsideration and mentions marriage-related distraction as a possible explanation.
- The original reading is criticized as missing the film’s purpose, unlike contemporary Canby and Corliss reviews; the Siskel/Ebert television response is recalled as unusually dismissive.
