David Ehrlich of Indie Wire said that "The film, like love itself, is inconsistent and hard to define. The film, like love itself, is also hard to resist". [2] Kenji Fushima of Slant Magazine wrote that "Madly broadly tackles the subject of love without, even at its least successful, stooping to the dire, barrel-scraping cultural condescension of Rio, I Love You ". [3] Jay Weissberg of Variety opined that "Like most compilation projects, the effort yields an uneven anthology with little thematic glue holding it together, although for the most part, the six shorts could stand alone and overall quality is high". [4] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Uneven in the way of so many cinematic anthologies, this is a more artistically ambitious collection than most, even if its aspirations aren’t always fulfilled". [5] Patricia Contino of The Upcoming ave the film 3 stars out of 5 andopined that "On the whole Madly is an ambitious project of compelling filmmaking and storytelling – and instead of one worthwhile film, there are several!" [6] TV Guide said of the film: "this compilation resonates as a portrait of how we love today." [7]
