In the book "Filmen i Sverige/ The Film in Sweden", critic Leif Furhammar writes: "Alf Sjöberg got to make the movie "Sista paret ut/ The Last Couple to go" at SF, Svensk Filmindustri, in 1956, mainly because the script was written by Ingmar Bergman and had some similarities with the Sjöberg-Bergman's success, "Hets/Torment" (1944). "Sista paret ut" was a commercial flop and failure and a failure to most critics."
