Critical reception
The film received mixed to positive reviews. David Stratton awarded the film three and a half stars, praising the performances: "as Liz, Benjamin evokes the young Barbara Hershey, while Dulieu is excellent as the troubled Jay, bringing surprising nuance to what could have been a routine character. Indeed, the entire film is better than you might expect, redeemed by a better-than-average screenplay (by director Nadi Sha and Grant Osborn) and by the actors."
Martin Fabinyi remarked on the film’s subtlety and effective performances, calling Everything in Between "a small film with a big heart." A preview of the film was also featured at the 12th Beijing International Film Festival, where it received attention for its unconventional approach: "such films rewrite the beauty and pain of youth in an alternative form."
