Rotten
This trashy, gaudy, sound-stage vulgarity about low life among the high life is as funny as a burning orphanage.

Any movie that Jacqueline Susann thinks would damage her reputation as a writer cannot be all bad. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't -- which is not to say it is any good.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

A psychedelic wow that serves up the free love, plunging necklines, androgynous boys, and lusty lezzies of the era with a narcotized abandon.
Michael Musto, Village Voice

With his first movie for a major studio, Meyer simply did what he'd been doing for years, only bigger and better.
