Upon its release, La seconda moglie premiered at the prestigious 55th Venice International Film Festival. Critics praised the film's polished, sun-drenched aesthetic and the performances of its lead actors. Variety called it a "bittersweet drama" and drew comparisons to the works of Federico Fellini, noting the film's vibrant portrait of "carefree youth" and the lavish celebration of its star's Mediterranean beauty. While some critics found the plot predictable, the film is remembered as a showcase for Maria Grazia Cucinotta, cementing her status as a new "Sophia Loren".
