And when will it ever end?"[2] Jake Wilson of The Sydney Morning Herald gave it 2 stars and described it as "the glamorised version of rural Australia we're used to seeing on commercial TV." He stated that Samuel's character was the opposite to how he's made out in the film, as a "good-looking captain" instead of a rugged outdoor type he's described as.[3]
