Reception
editGary Goldstein of The Los Angeles Times negatively reviewed the film and said "With its muddy timeline, kaleidoscope of fantasies, flashbacks and hallucinations, broad characterizations and sitcom slickness, the film never settles down long enough to congeal, much less feel remotely connected to reality."[5] Morgan Rojas of Cinemacy also reviewed the film poorly, stating "Better Off Single seems to just fall a bit short of what it has set out to achieve."[6]
