Critical reception

DVD Verdict found the DVD transfer acceptable, with "fine detail and considerable depth", and solid audio, but found the film itself to be trite and derivative, writing that poor performances, absurd character behavior and horribly-written dialogue made the film "a pretty wretched viewing experience".[2]

Conversely, Movie City News wrote "Only fans of the cast members and made-for-cable rom-coms will find something interesting here, I’m afraid."[3]
