No Orchids for Miss Blandish was described by British film reviewer Leslie Halliwell as a "hilariously awful gangster film. Later reviews of the film were equally antipathetic. the entire production is unpardonable." Cliff Goodwin, discussing No Orchids For Miss Blandish's initial reception, notes it was "unanimously dubbed 'the worst film ever made '". The Australian newspaper The Age also gave a harsh review: " No Orchids for Miss Blandish is not only a disgrace to the studio that made it, but it also reflects on the British industry as a whole. The Sunday Express film reviewer called No Orchids for Miss Blandish "the worst film I have ever seen". The British film journal Monthly Film Bulletin called it "the most sickening exhibition of brutality, perversion, sex and sadism ever to be shown on a cinema screen".
