  ## Reception
  
  Variety wrote, "'Comfortably Numb' is a smartly mounted pic with no star power and a story-line about the moral dilemmas facing a Connecticut preppie-turned-NYC prosecutor. Unfortunately, it takes a fatal turn halfway through by becoming a lurid antidrug tract and never recovers. Pic showcases talents of cast and crew , but B.O. prospects are nil."
