The film received mainly positive reception. In a positive review, Lovia Gyarkye wrote in The Hollywood Reporter , "Garron and Victor’s portrayal of friends who are struggling to understand each other’s point of view is refreshingly honest and appropriately cringey. Conversations are at the heart of As of Yet, and Garron manages to capture how they ebb and flow with the different rhetorical quirks people develop." [2] Candice Frederick of TheGrio noted that "nothing is particularly innovative about its style", but also described the film as "engaging to watch obviously resonant reflections of life’s new challenges articulated on screen". [7]
M.G. Mailloux of In Review Online praised her acting: "Garron is charismatic and lively as a performer, her presence never deflating or grating", but also stated that "as of yet never quite figures out how to say all that it wants to say without forsaking nuance or elegance". [8]
