Reception Yong Siew Fern of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "Unobtrusive acting and music-video editing combine to make this movie very much like your teen years - it will pass at its strolling pace, but it will be entertaining." Tan of Sinema felt that the "script was very well-written and although some parts were a little off in execution, it was an amazing adaptation of the book.".
