Reception

edit

Nollywood Reinvented rated the film 40%, commending the story for being "different", but criticizing the weak plot and the lack of chemistry between the two lead characters. It concluded: "...the movie is interesting in that it is different. Omoni brings a lot of life to the movie and the male lead, Chucks Chyke, does very well individually as an actor. Now there is definitely work that needs to be done with his responses to the other actors in the frame".[6]
