Emilie Black at Cinema Crazed complimented the acting, visuals, character development, and use of purgatory, but said it was slow, uneven, and too long. Catherine Dunn at The Independent Horror Society said it's a "chilling, horrific and brilliantly executed Groundhog Day" but listed continuity issues and questioned the use of nudity in film.
