Rochelle Siemienowicz of SBS called the film "likable, geeky and gently funny rather than hilarious".[3]
Glen Falkenstein of FilmInk rated the film $9.00 out of $20.00 and wrote that the film "just can't decide what it wants to be; its enjoyable confidence machinations often playing second-fiddle to a less than interesting love story."[2]
Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that "Spall is the film’s greatest asset but Luc’s performance is a more harmonious fit tonally. Like the film, he is pleasant, unprepossessing and nothing to write home about."[4]
