IndieWire - David Ehrlich
However afraid she is to let things get too serious, Miller Rogen is powerless to erase the emotional undertow that carries this story forward. All of the pent-up animosity her movie doesn’t know what to do with becomes its greatest asset.

Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt
The movie’s arc is too conventional by half, but the appeal of the two main actors keeps it (sorry) afloat, maybe more than it should.

Paste Magazine - Amy Glynn
This film is occasionally funny. But not super-funny. It’s occasionally poignant. But not a heavyweight on the drama side, either.

RogerEbert.com - Unnamed
This is a safe, sometimes synthetic story of two people in pretty settings finding a way to overcome their history and connect to one another, the beats all scheduled as conventionally as in the interchangeable comfort food movies on the Hallmark Channel.

Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
As much a commercial for Royal Caribbean cruises as it is a dramedy about a bumpy daughter-dad reunion, Like Father swamps its workable emotional core and adept lead turns with some slapdash plotting and a raft of floating festivities.
