Writing in The Sydney Morning Herald Paul Byrnes gave it 3 1/2 stars stating "This is a young director favouring mood over plot, soundtrack over action, like thousands before him. The last act needed a disciplined edit, but I can understand the constraints."[3] In news.com.au Wenlei Ma give it 3 stars and states "The movie itself is an appealing story which also features the beautiful backdrop of the NSW north coast and some stunning cinematography to capture it. It also has a phenomenal performance from King, a professional surfer who holds the screen with his magnetic presence. "[4] The Guardians' Luke Buckmaster gives it a 2 star review finishing "At this point, having been exposed to so many dolphins and whales, and all that dewy-eyed dialogue, I thought I could no longer be surprised by this film's cheesiness. I was wrong. The scene ends with Rockit asking Ash-Ash to “stay a little longer — just ’til we catch a shooting star”."[5]
