One of Truffaut's best, lyrical and resonant in a way the later films in the cycle would not be.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

The slice-of-life pic also has neat slices of observation, tasteful presentation and easeful acting that avoid banality.

A movie so full of love that to define it may make it sound like a religious experience, which, of course, it is -- but in a wonderfully unorthodox, cockeyed way.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
