Reception

Liao Wanqi of zbCOMMA rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5.[12] Ang Tian Tian of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5, praising the chemistry between the two main characters, the performance of An, and the editing style.[13] John Lui of The Straits Times rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5, writing "To Lee's credit, there are a couple of interludes that come from character, such as ones that reveal the affection the couple have for each other. The trouble is that as characters, the couple are as sanitised and blandly likeable as tap water and all the wackiness coming from the supporting players cannot make up for the absence of texture."[14] Chen Yunhong of Lianhe Zaobao rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 for entertainment and 2 stars out of 5 for art.[15] Douglas Tseng of today rated the film 2 stars out of 5.[8]
