Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes praised the movie for its humorous approach to misfortune, with some noting its charm and the likability of Michael O'Neal's performance. A reviewer from Common Sense Media described it as "an entertaining and lighthearted watch, suitable for those who enjoy situational comedy." However, some critics found fault with the film's pacing and predictability; Metacritic scores were not widely available, reflecting a limited critical footprint.
