The film premiered at the Dubai International Film Festival in December 2014.[4] It was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2016.[2]
Leslie Felperin of The Guardian awarded the film three stars out of five and wrote that "it’s diverting enough to pass muster, thanks to a seasoned cast."[5]
The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review: "In any case, audiences should enjoy seeing Grammer playing a Brit with such relaxed nonchalance, and his scenes with the versatile comedienne and stage actress Greig are thoroughly delightful."[1]
Mark Adams of Screen Daily gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...despite the best efforts of Grammer and co-star Tamsin Greig this old-fashioned effort rarely clicks, with the muddled script offering nice ideas but little follow-through.”[6]
