"[5] Clarissa Oon of The Straits Times rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that Farley's "evocative" cinematography and Richmond's "eclectic" and "pulsating" soundtrack "lifts the film above other formulaic homegrown English-language comedies like One Leg Kicking and Chicken Rice War", and praised the performances of Sheikh, Lee, Isaac, Lim, Koh and Kang.
[4] Yong Shu Chiang of Today wrote that while the film "lacks bite in its dialogue, has so-so acting and could have benefited from a more polished script", it "has its moments".
