The New York Theater Guide mentioned that the musical is “unabashedly bittersweet.” The reviewer also added that the songs are “wall-to-wall delights.” Meanwhile, Time Out called the musical, “Clever, touching and idiosyncratic.” The review continued, “It still feels intimate, but the larger audience lets the show land big laughs as well as moments of stung collective sympathy, and the performances pop with fresh energy.”

Over in the Washington Square News, the review praised the musical for having a complex theme despite being a coming of age epic. “Even though the musical plays heavily into typical coming-of-age tropes, the youthful comedy is juxtaposed with the darker subject of death.” The review also complimented the musical for getting audiences on an emotional trip. “If you can make an audience laugh in the first few seconds of a story, it is impressive if you can make them cry by the end of it.” Lastly, the Hollywood Reporter called the musical “a breath of fresh air” and praised it for “sweeping in as a burst of invigorating originality in a sea of repurposed movies, jukebox compilations and revivals.”
