== Critical reception ==
''[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' said "The ''[[Daily Mail]]'''s amiable comic-strip, involving the breakneck adventures and unrequited loves of a London model and aimed predominantly at a female readership, has been adapted to fit the baser requirements of commercial cinema. Tiffany herself has been transformed (not disagreeably) into a walking wet-dream in the Mayfair Penthouse style, repeatedly losing her clothes but never her virtue, and provoking her model friends to strip off their garden-party clothes on a thinly scripted pretext. In place of humour, the production has recourse to some of the more lethal devices of British farce – funny foreigners and inflated third-form puns. Beginning with a scene which sends up the absurdities of advertising films, ''Tiffany Jones'' derives its visual and histrionic style precisely from such films, and seems also to have one eye on the resuscitation of the long-defunct myth of Swinging London. Something of the spirit of the original has nevertheless been retained in the jolly scrapes of the storyline, and there is still an ! unattainable lover and a dogged photographer-admirer, though the latter bears little resemblance to the square-jawed dream-boy of the cartoon. Still, the fresh and spontaneous presence of Anouska Hempel saves the production from complete collapse under the burden of its painstakingly selected formulae."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1973 |title=Tiffany Jones |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305831611/A8D8C33F98A7468APQ/1 |journal=[[Monthly Film Bulletin]] |volume=40 |issue=468 |pages=107 |via=ProQuest}}</ref>

''The [[Radio Times]] Guide to Films'' gave the film 1/5 stars, writing: "Made in the days of dolly birds and psychedelia, this pathetic attempt to produce an [[The Avengers (TV series)|Avengers]] clone, but with more nudity, is adapted from a newspaper's comic strip and has Anouska Hempel helping a denim-clad prince regain his throne from a wicked dictator. At least Ray Brooks has the talent to seem embarrassed, but nothing can faze director Pete Walker."<ref>{{Cite book |title=Radio Times Guide to Films |publisher=[[Immediate Media Company]] |year=2017 |isbn=9780992936440 |edition=18th |location=London |pages=939}}</ref>
