In her four star review for Time Out, Caroline McGinn says the play "is always gripping, often painfully funny, and mostly deeply sad. Director Polly Findlay manages the pace and the sad/funny balance beautifully." Arifa Akbar for The Guardian gave the play three stars out of five and stated that it "feels like a true and tender representation of a marriage in its middle stages, a drama that is tepid at times, a little plodding and soft around the edges but forging on."
