Critics have praised the performances, especially that of Laurent Lafitte, for bringing nuance and charm to his complex character.

However, some reviews point out that the story can feel uneven, with pacing issues and a tone that fluctuates between lighthearted and overly introspective. The movie has been described by some as a thoughtful albeit imperfect exploration of familial relationships that doesn't fully capitalize on its promising premise.
