- 50New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAs earnest as it is awkward, the film has so much spirit, it's hard to dismiss entirely, even at its considerable worst.
- 50The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurraySports broad, sitcom-ish performances and a surprising amount of sweetness and wisdom.
- 40L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonL.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonThe always-watchable Bologna is the adhesive holding together this slight and gentle romantic comedy, lending it perhaps more conviction and authority than the material warrants.
- A bland romantic comedy that comes up short on both laughs and love.

- 30Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonVillage VoiceMichael AtkinsonThe notion of grievingly happening upon your dead beloved, young and lovely again, is simple and potent, but the film's airless amateurism, belabored ethnicism ("Oy gevalt!"), and trite dialogue kill it in the water.
