"Lau and Cheng have an alternately aggravating and ingratiating chemistry that suggests Nick and Nora Charles as played by Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck."

—

Time Out

"Will likely be remembered as a sloppy curio farce above all else."

—

Film School Rejects

"A total mess from beginning to end."

—

We Got This Covered

"A decidedly minor offering (from To)."

—

Screen Daily

"I eventually adjusted to the film’s antic rhythm... enjoying the two leads’ go-for-broke enthusiasm and the convoluted plot’s nutty digressions."

—

A.V. Club

"It's about as light-hearted and goofy as they come, but also... lacking much of the cohesive sense of style and vision that normally characterises a To film."
