Reception

Dan Buffa of KSDK wrote that the film "shines a much-needed light on a profession that's not as easy as it looks" and is "far more interesting" than he initially thought it would be. Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times wrote that while the film is "not perfect" and features "one wild night too many", its outlook "lingers". Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while the film is a "little reductive when it comes to the generation gap", the performances are "excellent" and Barrial "isn’t playing Leonard’s predicament for cheap laughs or amped-up drama".

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "has the style but not the substance of a strong ’70s indie drama, stalls out quickly and goes nowhere interesting." Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com gave the film a "thumbs down" and wrote that it is "selling a lifestyle of working for billion-dollar rideshare companies, masquerading as a light-hearted indie when it has the soul of a commercial."
