      On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 87% based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 7.30/10. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, writing: "In just 90 minutes, Chicago-born director and co-writer Haroula Rose (“Once Upon a River”) skillfully weaves together a myriad of storylines in a slice-of-life comedy-drama that rings true in every moment. There’s not a single character in this film that doesn’t come across as authentic….it leaves us wanting more. There’s so much more we’d like to discover about this unhappy family."
      Nell Minow of RogerEbert.com gave the film three stars saying "Strong performances by an excellent cast…
      Director Haroula Rose, who co-wrote the film with Coburn Goss, gives it a leisurely, lived-in feeling. The actors, especially Baker, bring layers to the characters that hold our interest, earn our affection, and make us reconsider Tolstoy—there is more than one way to be a happy family." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wrote: "With actors as good as Becky Ann Baker co-writer and director Haroula Rose’s second feature keeps one foot in easygoing naturalism."
