United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] is a mug of warm cocoa with marshmallow topping that produces a comfy feel-good glow."	POS
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"Charming but uneven, director Améris's film doesn't know whether to make us laugh or cry, and ends up doing neither. Still, a smart script offers plenty to keep incurable romantics happy. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Movies that truly have the capacity to delight - that amuse and lift the spirits and create a warm feeling - are rare. 'Romantics Anonymous' is one of those rare delights."	POS
United Kingdom	Catherine Shoard The Guardian	"In order for the script to crackle and the heart to move, you need to suspend more disbelief that proves possible here (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"At its best, 'Romantics Anonymous' is a love letter to everyone who’s ever felt hopelessly awkward about being in a relationship, which is just about all of us."	POS
United Kingdom	David Jenkins Time Out	"It’ll be too light and frothy for some tastes, but it’s bound to leave you with a warm glow (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
