Rating: 2/4 --
Pity there was no room for Phyllis Diller or Carol Channing here, because then the film might have had a leg up on Scooby-Doo and the Creepy Castle.

Slant Magazine
While the idea would certainly seem to hold promise for interesting social commentary, the script by Ron McGee lacks the necessary bite, as does the rote direction of Ron Oliver.
Hollywood Reporter
A perfectly respectable second entry in the saga of gay private eye Donald Strachey.
Variety
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Were it not for the fact that the hero and many of the major supporting characters are gay... this breezy, disposable film could as easily have been a mainstream network pilot for a McMillan and Wife-style series.

TV Guide
... director Ron Oliver applies a thin veneer of straight-to-cable pseudo-gloss without finding a workable tone, and the cast lacks the charisma and chemistry to make the genre and gender-bending register as more than novelty.
Village Voice
Rating: 3/5 --
This is a sly, refreshingly grown-up gay entertainment, though rather less satisfying as a thriller.
New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Where film noir is often punch-drunk with a jab of snappy patter and a left hook of world-weary cynicism, Shock tries to clinch with understanding.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Chad Allen returns as detective Donald Strachey in this sizzling and powerful thriller. When a successful graduate of a gay "reparative" therapy program is found dead under mysterious circumstances, his demanding mother (Morgan Fairchild) believes it was an act of homosexual revenge, while the police write it off as suicide. Now it's up to Strachey to go undercover and reveal a murderer "playing it straight"--but with a motive to kill.
