Critical reception

The Radio Times gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "competent performances fail to add sparkle to the tired plot",^[4] while myreviewer.com wrote, "whilst you won’t laugh aloud, it’ll certainly raise a warm smile. It’s also a great little time-capsule to what looks and feels like a completely different world."^[5]
