- 70Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLike the film itself, Kakkar and Pastides are lively, adorable and thoroughly winning.

- 60The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldThough not very ambitious, this winsome, whisper-thin tale shimmers along with the charming urge to connect and reveal yourself that links its two correspondents.
- 50VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonKakkar and Pastides generate a rooting interest in their characters, with compellingly persuasive performances.
- 40The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe DissolveMike D'AngeloNeither Hank nor Asha ever says or does anything that suggests they’re vital, complex individuals, and even their mutual interest in the arts is utterly generic, devoid of any intellectual exchange or even real curiosity. People this dull are available all over YouTube, for free. It’s unclear, however, why strangers would bother watching.
- 40Village VoiceZachary WigonVillage VoiceZachary WigonThe film's success rests upon the interest engendered by these characters, but Hank and Asha fail to meaningfully engage us.
- 38Slant MagazineWes GreeneSlant MagazineWes GreeneAs the film is focused solely through the lens of the titular characters' cameras, this limits the exploration of the story's worldview outside of Hank and Asha's perspective.
