The film received largely negative reviews from local film critics. Despite this, it was a major hit with Australian audiences. Alvin Purple became the most commercially successful Australian film released to that time, breaking the box-office record previously set by Michael Powell's pioneering Anglo-Australian comedy feature They're a Weird Mob (1966), grossing $A4.7 million locally ($49 million in 2022).
