Critical reception
In a 1988 review for the Los Angeles Times, Howard Rosenberg wrote, "Oh, it's watchable enough. But it's a spy/adventure story that lacks suspense, a love story whose lovers lack intensity, a Middle Eastern story...that lacks historical and political definition." He concludes- "It's love, adventure--and schmaltz--in the Middle East."
