Critical response


Writing for Toronto Film Scene magazine, William Brownridge described the film as a relatively typical and predictable romantic drama, but praised the film for depicting well-rounded gay characters: "you may know where Sebastian is headed, but that doesn’t take away from the touching journey to get you there."[4]
