Reception James Marsh of South China Morning Post gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and described it as a "high-school romcom populated by awkward, inarticulate teens and stuffed with misunderstandings and misconceptions that could be remedied by a single conversation", and which "has very limited appeal" and "only young fans of its fresh-faced cast are likely to enjoy [the film]".
