Critical reception

The film received mixed to positive reviews. David Stratton awarded the film three and a half stars, praising the performances: "as Liz, Benjamin evokes the young Barbara Hershey, while Dulieu is excellent as the troubled Jay, bringing surprising nuance to what could have been a routine character. Indeed, the entire film is better than you might expect, redeemed by a better-than-average screenplay (by director Nadi Sha and Grant Osborn) and by the actors." [6]

Martin Fabinyi remarked on the film’s subtlety and effective performances, calling Everything in Between "a small film with a big heart."
