Critically, the film did not fare so well with only 16 percent positive reviews according to the aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes.COM. Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune stated, "This isn't a very smart movie, rattling along as it does in the bright, superficial, meaninglessly expert way of too many modern romantic comedies, and definitely of too many Jennifer Lopez comedies." While the film was nominated for six Teen Choice Awards including a Best Leading Actress nod for Jennifer Lopez, she was also nominated for a dubious 2005 Razzie Award for Worst Actress in a Motion Picture Film all at the same time.
