Entertainment Weekly wrote in its review, "A chic girl-meets-girl movie for people who thought the women in Go Fish looked too damn geeky. The eight pretty patrons at the L.A. bar in this upbeat romantic rondelet change partners easily (always wearing nice makeup), pairing off and then recombining like residents of Melrose Place."^[4]
