Critical reception
Allmovie called it "a throwback to the British "portmanteau" films of the 1950s";[2] while TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, and wrote, "the effect of the late letters' delivery to the recipients makes for five delightful little tales. Good performances all the way around."[3]
