Critically, "What Will Become of Us" received mixed reviews. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.8/10 based on audience scores, indicating a modest reception among viewers. Critics often praised the film for its portrayal of youthful optimism and the relatable struggles of early adulthood, but some found its storytelling uneven and the character development lacking depth. For example, some reviewers appreciated the authentic performances by Silvio Muccino and the ensemble cast but felt the narrative pace slowed the overall impact. While the film touches on compelling themes, certain critics noted it fell short of providing fresh insights or strong emotional resonance compared to other contemporary Italian dramas. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critic score available, reflecting limited international exposure. Metacritic also lacks a sufficient number of critic reviews to generate a score.
