But it’s sweeter and more satisfying than you might expect..."[17] Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review, calling it "A deftly executed debut feature."[18] Todd McCarthy of Deadline Hollywood also gave the film a positive review and wrote, “Sean Penn is at his absolute best here in a tremendously engaging performance as a salty working-class guy with an endless supply of opinions and ways of drawing out his passengers, while Dakota Johnson more than holds her own as a game passenger increasingly willing to share her problems with the amateur shrink behind the wheel.”[19]
