In a contemporary review, on reviewing the Blue Underground bluray, Tom Charity described the film as haphazardly scripted but noted that Cassavetes participation alongside his soonto be regular collaborator Falk and his wife Gena Rowlands that piques our curiosity and that Adroitly mixing stylish Roman interiors with colourful location work, fast paced and featuring a ridiculously snappy Ennio Morricone dirge, The Ballad of Hank McCain, it all adds up to an attractive footnote to Cassavetes career ........
