Reception

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Save Mailer’s pushy “New Yawk” accent, the leads do what they can with their unconvincing characters and the rusty plot, but it’s a hopeless effort. Nice opening title sequence though."[1]
Alex Saveliev of Film Threat rated the film a five out of ten and wrote, "Perhaps The Second Sun would have functioned better on stage. There’s a shred of melancholy permeating the otherwise-glossy narrative that may be more palpable when experienced live, without the celluloid barrier."[3]
