Reviewers from German film outlets have praised the film’s intimate storytelling and the authentic portrayal of female friendship.

However, some critics note that the pacing is deliberately slow, which might not appeal to all audiences. The film does not appear on larger aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, indicating limited international exposure, but within its niche, it is recognized for its honesty and thoughtful character development.
