Reception TV Guide gave a mixed review: "Plummer's commanding presence gives the enterprise a shot of class, but it needed a massive transfusion."
Fred Haeseker of the Calgary Herald awarded the film two stars and praised Plummer's performance.
Sequel An in name only sequel titled Red-Blooded American Girl II was released in 1997, with none of the original's cast and a different storyline; only director David Blyth connects the two films. In his 2015 book Spinegrinder: The Movies Most Critics Won’t Write About, author Clive Davies called it a "a useless road movie that isn't really a sequel".
