Reception

Anne Campbell rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it a "A slow rom-com but not without some unique charms." Criticising the pace and lack of comedy Campbell closed her review as: "Love at First Kiss is unique enough to keep watching despite the limited comedy and pacing problems." Janire Zurbano rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 for 20 Minutes Cinema and opined that film has neglected fantasy. Concluding, Zurbano deemed it as a, "Classic 'Rom-com' that confirms Álvaro Cervantes as Netflix's Hugh Grant. Kirsten Hawkes reviewing for Parent Previews graded the film as C and criticised the length of the film. Concluding, Hawkes wrote, that she was not impressed albeit the plot is sufficiently novel that it kept her focused, but to her the "biggest weakness" was that, it moved in some unexpected directions but telegraphed those changes a bit too far in advance."
