The film became a large success among viewers. In the first week after its release, it had amassed 14.8 million hours watched, equivalent to around 10 million viewings,
Toscana was negatively received by Danish critics. In a review before the public release,
Filmmagasinet Ekko gave the film 2 out of 6 stars, criticising the lack of realism and writing that "
Toscana tastes like
Kollision [another film directed by Mehdi Avaz] in its paper-thin character drawing and clumsy script". Shortly after its release,
Soundvenue likewise gave it 2 out of 6 stars, criticizing in particular its predictability and, as
Ekko did, the script; most of all, according to the reviewer,
Toscana felt like a "waste of Anders Matthesen's talent".
Berlingske was a little more positive with a rating of 3 out of 6 stars, but also criticized the film's predictability and lack of realism, calling it "not just a film that embraces clichés, it invites clichés home and makes them breakfast the next day". However, the reviewer added that "it [is] not without charm", and praised Anders Matthesen's acting. ==References==
