Reception
Charlene Chua of The New Paper gave the film three stars out of five. Yip Wai Yee of The Straits Times gave the film one and a half stars out of five, stating, "There are the rare moments when the film makes some keen observations about government campaigns, including how they always seem to incorporate a catchy ditty that everyone loves to hate, but such moments are few and far between."
