Critical response

Pat Mullen of That Shelf wrote that "Joonho Park offers an authentic coming-of-age story in Korea’s underground queer community as Cheol-jun navigates love and friendship. This tender portrait intimately explores queer friendships in ways that few films do. It’s not a tale of hot hook-ups, lusty encounters, and scenes of finding love through recreational sex. Instead, Park considers the bravery it takes to put oneself out there. The journey towards self-acceptance and self-love entailed before giving, or inspiring, that fateful swipe." [1]

Pierce Conran of Screen Anarchy wrote that "for most of its running time, 3670 offers a very engaging look at its characters and their environment, but once it tries to wrap its story in the final third, a few unfortunate cracks begin to appear. The plotting gets a little scattered as story beats begin to feel overly engineered with several instances of characters overhearing things at the wrong moment or reaching out to someone at exactly the right time despite weeks of no communication."
