Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, enjoyed the building of the story and the lush illustrations.[2] Patricia Beard, writing for Mania Entertainment, found Tsubaki difficult to relate to, as he is a "food-centric" character, and found the use of the phrase "Just relax" to signify anal sex to "sound odd".[3] Michelle Smith, writing for Pop Culture Shock, appreciated that the characters were adults who thought about more things than just their romance, but found the language 'simplistic', with some 'cheesy lines'.
