Reception Allan Hunter of Screen Daily praised writer/director Dermot Malone, who "shows considerable promise" in his feature film debut. Bren Murphy of RTÉ was also impressed and said the film is "beautifully shot". Chris Wasser of the Irish Independent lauded lead actor Peter Coonan as "terrific", although felt that "it would be better without all the flashbacks".
