Serena Donadoni of the The Village Voice wrote that Tunick "infuses his debut narrative feature with a sunny optimism that gives an emotional drama the air of escapism." [2]

Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while the cast "helps to make the weak drama more watchable than it has any right to be", the "seasoned pros can only do so much to animate the earnest, antiseptic script." [4]
