- 60The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergA winning cast helps sell that familiar premise — not just Reale and Young-White, who have definite chemistry and an easy-flowing banter, but also the brassy, scene-stealing Catherine Cohen.
- 50RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyRogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe script is often very witty, peppered with sharp observations and two very entertaining performances, but there are underlying problems the movie cannot overcome.
- 40Austin ChronicleSteve DavisAustin ChronicleSteve DavisHonestly, both Sex and the City and Seinfeld tackled the romantic pitfalls of youngish single life in NYC more adeptly in their relatively truncated formats than this 91-minute movie, and with a helluva lot more verve and wit.
- 40VarietyNick SchagerVarietyNick SchagerWhile following a typical rom-com pattern isn’t inherently unpleasant, the movie’s wink-wink insinuations that it’s going to take things in a novel direction, followed by its embrace of the very clichés it’s poked fun at, makes it feel disingenuous and stale.
- 40Screen RantRachel LaBonteScreen RantRachel LaBonteUnfortunately, Dating & New York can't find anything new to say about the world of casual dating, so its love story never fully gets off the ground.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreA couple of bit characters come closest to landing a laugh. None of the leads do. The script is social media savvy, making tepid jokes about the “commitment” difference between a couple selfie “in your story” or on “your grid” on Instagram.
