Bruce DeMara of the Toronto Star awarded the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote, "Still, there’s just enough kooky appeal and wit to make Pretend We’re Kissing a romantic comedy that’s also a cautionary tale."[4]

Barry Hertz of the National Post also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Whatever your thoughts on the film’s central up-and-down relationship, though, you can’t help but fall in love with the way Sadowski frames the scenery."[5]
