Reception
Larry Williams of the Hartford Courant called the film "entertaining" despite having "plausibility issues".

The Hollywood Reporter called the film a "light riff on bougie aspirations."

Alison Gillmore of the Winnipeg Free Press wrote that while the film "really understands the modern middle-class status anxiety surrounding real estate and renovations", it "remains a tonal mess, not quite sure if it wants to be satire, sitcom or a Lifetime movie-of-the-week."

Ken Eisner of The Georgia Straight wrote that the "sharply written script makes McCormack too much of a materialistic stick-in-the-mud, dampening our investment in the couple’s emotional real estate."
