Moss brings warmth and dignity to a part that could've easily slid into stereotype, while Camryn Manheim owns her few scenes as Amanda's best friend.

The direction rarely rises above acceptable, but anytime the camera's pointed at Grant, it doesn't matter.
Luke Y. Thompson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
There's a perfectly likable, sitcomish romantic comedy buried somewhere deep inside Barra Grant's indie Love Hurts, but it would have taken some very significant rewrites to unearth it.
Andrew Barker, Variety
Rotten
A flat-footed sitcom with unconvincing situations and comedy.
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
