Reviews of the film were largely negative, causing the film to open below local forecast numbers. Maggie Lee of Variety called the film "an over-the-top and indigestible romantic comedy produced and co-scripted by Wong Kar-wai lacking any of the auteur's usual finesse". Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter said that the film is an "impermeable melange of shapeless storytelling, rehashed gags, vacuous relationships and painfully over-the-top performances from its usually top-notch cast".
