	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'Juliet, Naked' is a gently winning romantic comedy, all keyed to a delightful note of indie-rock obsession."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The film’s reference points, invented and otherwise, are faultlessly deployed (...) The abundant, generally on-target sociological details and comic observations feel overdone and superficial"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A passably amusing but overly safe and conventional romantic farce"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Charming (...) [It] feels winning; the small, sweet grace note on a familiar melody"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Byrne is tremendous (...) but is marooned in a poorly-conceived film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	David Edelstein Vulture	"An irresistible premise (...) Literate, unpredictable, full of bustling tangents"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"A lovely low-key comedy with a rock ‘n’ roll heart, with Rose Byrne, Chris O’Dowd and Ethan Hawke delivering a trio of deftly and subtly drawn performances"	POS
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Loaded with inconsequential detours and questionable and inconsistent character psychology (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
