Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times assessed, " Women in Trouble has sleeper written all over it and a sequel is already in the works". Very much in the deliriously lewd style of Pedro Almodóvar-who has co-written unproduced scripts with Gutierrez, and gets a shout-out in the closing credits-this exuberantly uninhibited indie has the anything-goes spirit of something tossed off in a single burst of collaborative energy". On the positive side, Joe Leydon of Variety gave it a rave review, calling it " compulsively watchable mix of high camp and grand passions, soap opera and softcore sex. The website's critics consensus reads, "Sebastian Gutierrez certainly has an eye for the beauty of the female form, but Women in Trouble lacks a compelling script or point of view to go with its curvaceous visual appeal." On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 29% based on 24 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10.
