Reception
editKate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a rating of "B-" and wrote that "Smith and Gabriel clearly know their genre and have unique ideas as to how to pillage it for fresh entertainment, but their resistance to fully embrace one idea over the other holds “The Relationtrip” back from really subverting its material."[2]
Gary M. Kramer of Salon.com wrote that "the good ideas and gimmicks come through, showing the promise that's there, but overall it misses the mark."[3]
