[5] Rex Reed of The New York Observer called the film "very small, with a very big emotional force that unfolds through the eyes of 16-year-old [boy]", which is "sensitively played by promising newcomer Jeffrey Wahlberg".

[9] According to Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times, "The [film's] emotional potency is undeniable, its slow crescendo of wounded feelings and shimmering photography leaving unexpected imprints on the eyes and heart".
