Reception

Carol Leong of The New Paper wrote that "Devotees of TCS sitcoms will enjoy the faintly absurd scenarios, the local humour and the sight of Jacintha playing it matronly."[5]

Ong Sor Fern of The Straits Times wrote that the series has an "annoying share of well-educated actors trying to speak street English", and is "much too insipid to inspire many memories."[6]
