Critical response The film received mixed reviews from critics. Audiences surveyed by
CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, while
PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an average of four out of five stars, with 57% saying they would definitely recommend the film.
Common Sense Media's Tara McNamara gave it 3/5 stars and wrote, "thanks to the casting of appealing actors, the presence of
Natasha Bedingfield's '
Unwritten' throughout the film, and the characters' new-adult-accurate dialogue... Gluck's end result is diverting enough that teens and young adults are highly unlikely to notice its flaws."
The Hindu Mini Anthikad-Chhibber said the film was "not wildly inventive", but was "powered by Sweeney and Powell's charisma, with able support from Brown and Hurd, eye candy thanks to Barnet... and laughs from Davidson."
The Guardian Benjamin Lee gave the film 2/5 stars, writing, "Director Will Gluck... can't turn his leads into more than swimwear models, centring a romcom around them is like watching a kid force two dolls to kiss." David Rooney of
The Hollywood Reporter said, "neither screen chemistry nor laughs can be manufactured, especially not with the kind of pedestrian writing in Will Gluck's
Anyone But You, which does nothing to reanimate the moribund studio rom-com." Robert Moran of
The Age gave it 2.5/5 stars, writing, "Watch the movie; there's no way these guys hooked up. Whatever sparkling chemistry we thought we saw in the film's immaculate PR drip-feed, it's barely there in the final product."
