Rob Lowing, film critic for the Sydney Morning Herald rated the film two stars out of four.

[5] For Cinema Papers , Karl Quinn wrote, "To note that David Elfick's Love In Limbo is a beautifully-designed film is to point to both its greatest strength and its great weakness, for it is surely one of the best recent examples of the triumph of style over substance". [6]
