- 75Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaAniston and Zahn are sweet together - their respective characters have built up psychic armor to keep the outside world at bay, and each breaks down the other's in revealing ways.
- 70VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonPicture benefits greatly from appealing performances by Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn, who deftly apply darker emotional shadings to their characters when necessary, and equally fine work from a small ensemble of solid supporting players.

- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA standard-order romantic comedy with many of the expected twists and complications. It suffers from the flaw of not giving the lead characters enough time together.
- 50L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyEach new superfluous Jennifer Aniston rom-com is already met with low expectations, but add some overcooked, middlebrow Indiewood quirk and you've got cinema's purest shade of beige.
