Reception Pip Ellwood-Hughes of Entertainment Focus praised the performances: "The performances of Joel Ballanger and Al Braatz are what make the film. Ballanger in particular is excellent as Ryan and he really brings to life a character that is struggling but refuses to admit it." Christopher Velasco of Letterboxd gave the film 1.5/5 stars, chiding the film's wish fulfillment: "Was this wish fulfillment? Yes, it was. I know plenty of gay men who would LOVE to get a 'straight' guy and that's just getting laid. That happens all the time. Now, being coupled or married and becoming friends with a 'straight' guy then he falling for you. COME ON!"
