	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Implausible (...) It fails to strike a proper tone (...) [It] leads to monotony."	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A waste of a talented cast (...) The result is neither sufficiently funny nor moving, lacking the truly daring humor that might have made the film a bracing dark comedy."	NEG
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"It does avoid the many pitfalls associated with the sub-genre (...) 'Irreplaceable You' is not afraid to depict its central characters as unreasonable jerks (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"This tragic romance never manages to connect (...) The film drowns in its fatal flaws (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"The film's first half is so annoyingly glib and faux-amusing, it sets a misguided tone that distances instead of engages."	NEG
