Matthew Lickona of the San Diego Reader wrote that the film's "great virtue is its verisimilitude, followed by its gently crude humor, its affectionate heart, and its pleasantly surprising degree of polish." [2]
Bradley Gibson of Film Threat rated the film 7 stars out of 10 and called it a "delightful romp with laugh-out-loud moments but also contains serious introspection about what adult life will be like for those now entering into it." [3]
