Tara McNamara of Common Sense Media awarded the film two stars out of five. Tomris Laffly of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one star. Kate Erbland of IndieWire graded the film a D+. Lisa Kennedy of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "But amiable leads Alexandra Shipp and Nicholas Hamilton — along with a thoughtfully in-sync supporting cast — keep things unfolding in a kind-hearted place when the screenplay could have easily marooned the audience in a copycat purgatory." John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "For only the most undiscriminating YA romantics."
