GamesRadar said, "this blisteringly realistic Danish coming-of-age drama is smarter than most and superbly performed – parental bust-ups, excruciating seductions and all."[3] The London Evening Standard called it "a mostly vacant film. But very pretty."[4] The Guardian says, "The ending is a smidge pat, but there's much to savour, especially the impressive performances of the young cast."[5]

Autostraddle listed the film at 78 on its ranking of the 103 best lesbian films of all time.[6]
