The film won the Excellence Prize at the 2011 Japan Media Arts Festival, and a special prize at the 2012 Hiroshima International Animation Festival. It received a Genie Award nomination for Canadian Screen Award for Best Animated Short, Best Animated Short Film at the 32nd Genie Awards in 2012.Brian D.
