Reception[]

Tom Bierbaum of Variety called it "entertainingly weird, gross and amusing".[1] Ray Loynd of the Los Angeles Times called it a "charming oddity" that could never be seen on network television.[2] TV Guide rated it 2/4 stars and wrote, "Heads may leave viewers scratching theirs, but flaunts a cult-movie sensibility not normally associated with the small-screen fare."[3]
