Reception

Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film is a "sweet tale with a smart storytelling device and charming performers, but not much more beyond the cute."^[1]

Scott Tobias of Variety praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that LeSchander "barely skims the surface of her book-smarts and his street-smarts, much less the cultural forces that keep them apart."^[2]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that the "narrative skimpiness makes their efforts for naught."^[3]
