"The Hollywood Reporter" wrote, "One beautiful little film about the American experience. Rosenfeld shows a sure hand with both the actors and the vigorous turns of the scenario. His ability to capture the right level of intensity and perfect atmosphere for each of the mostly unrelated stories is remarkable." "The Wall Street Journal" called the film, "A wonderfully light-hearted picture about serendipity. Rosenfeld handles the sprightly script with just the right mix of jauntiness and delicacy. It's a little gem." "The Washington Post" wrote, "Thanks to director Keva Rosenfeld, a documentary filmmaker, its story seems to come about serendipitously. The film's pace, bouncy as Lotto balls in a tank, adds to the lightheartedness of this surprisingly droll look at the cost of living."
