Leaves a viewer with the happy thought that she now can get back to nursing and away from films like Coffy.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times

Coffy is slightly more serious and a little more inventive than it needs to be.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
Grier, a statuesque actress with a body she doesn't hesitate to show, is strongly cast. Booker Bradshaw as a city politician and William Elliott as an honest cop score well.
