On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 16%, based on 19 reviews, and an average rating of 4.2/10.[15] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 49 out of 100, based on 9 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[16]

Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Stone had the right instincts about the part — she inhabits Senna beautifully, and her performance anchors the light-as-air All I Wish. It's the perfect role for her to sink her teeth into, sexy and fun, but she brings a sense of real intelligence and soulfulness to the character. That's true star power."[19]

Adam Graham of The Detroit News graded the film a C.[20]

Teo Bugbee of The New York Times criticized the script of the film, calling it "generic."[21]
