On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a favorable critic score, with reviews highlighting its intricate plot and character development. IGN commended the movie for "its witty script and layered mystery that hooks viewers from beginning to end," giving it an 8 out of 10.

IMDb users rated it around 7.8/10, appreciating its clever narrative and voice acting, particularly praising Natsuki Hanae's performance as Odokawa, which added depth and nuance to the protagonist.
