Ronnie Scheib of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "A curiously likable, entertainingly laid-back Asian-American take on all-too-familiar dysfunctional family tropes, this Kickstarter-enabled effort boldly mines farce along with sentiment."[3]
Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Mr. Chan’s skill with actors — particularly with Ms. Mei and Mr. Pang’s persuasive, easygoing banter — compensates for the story’s limitations."[4]
Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Nimbly avoiding the excesses of melodrama and the recessiveness of mumblecore, Chan and his likably low-key cast navigate hairpin turns from drama to comedy to outright farce with an impressive sense of proportion."[5]
Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "This disarmingly low-key genre-hybrid delivers both dramatically and comedically."[6]
