Reception Cineuropa'''s film critic Fabien Lemercier described Stereo Girls as "a film that takes many formal risks with undeniable charm", "adopting a deliberately pop and offbeat style" and "almost flirting with the idea of an over-the-top photo novel". Nicholas Bell from IonCinema compared the film to Beaches, and called it a "languid period piece" that "sings a familiar tune with too much emotional distortion".

Marilou Duponchel from Les Inrocks described it as "a haunting pop film, laced with captivating dreamlike sequences". Olivier De Bruyn from Les Echos'' referred to it as an "energetic and moving film [which] is full of surprises".
