...Here was innocence, here was sexual power, here was the Casanova who would, over time, be[come Warren Beatty]... -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly

Rating: 4/5 --
The psychology may be simplistic, but the powerful portrayals from the cast - especially from Beatty - make that weakness seem like an irrelevance.

Rating: B --
With his ripe lips, flirty eyes, and pre-Calvin Klein-era androgynous appeal, the 24-year-old Warren is utterly believable as a boy who drives Natalie Wood plumb insane with sexual frustration in William Inge's overheated melodrama.
