Reception Phillipa Hawker in The Age wrote "'Hungry Heart' is '80s disaffection - not cool but cold." The Sydney Morning Herald's Doug Anderson in his capsual review stated "Nick Carrafa and Davenport offer energetic performances and the film, while not considered good enough for a commercial release, has enough to make it palatable." Susan Demody of Filmnews praises the "sense of an unusual openness and warmth between the characters and the generations"
