Derek Elley of Variety wrote, "Elegantly shot on HD, and with a semi-fairy-tale atmosphere, this is something small but fresh from Singapore’s tiny industry."[5] Ong Sor Fern of The Straits Times rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Retail therapy has never been quite this entertainingly thoughtful."[6] Geoffrey Eu of The Business Times gave the film a rating of "B-" and wrote that Wee "gives a refreshingly original spin to a familiar Singaporean pastime – and viewers who take a chance on it will come away impressed by a keenly observed cinematic bargain."[7] Stefan of Twitch Film wrote that the film is "well worth the admission ticket, being able to straddle the arty film realm that most local movies seem to fall under, and having the commercial legs as well."[8]
