The website's critical consensus reads, "Lover for a Day offers an absorbing character study that's as well-acted and believable as it is beautifully filmed."[11] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 69 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[12]

Pamela Pianezza of Variety called the film "an alluring and very elegantly crafted — though largely predictable — romantic dramedy that should do well in territories where the French auteur is already known and esteemed."[13]
