Reviews of the film were largely negative, causing the film to open below local forecast numbers.[11] Maggie Lee of Variety called the film "an over-the-top and indigestible romantic comedy produced and co-scripted by Wong Kar-wai lacking any of the auteur's usual finesse".[12] Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter said that the film is an "impermeable melange of shapeless storytelling, rehashed gags, vacuous relationships and painfully over-the-top performances from its usually top-notch cast".[13]
