Hitfix -
There is real wisdom and honesty in every moment of the film, and that's refreshing in a genre that is built largely on fantasy every bit as disconnected from our reality as any superhero film.

The A.V. Club -
The small miracle of Leslye Headland’s second film as writer-director is not that it sidesteps its influences or shuns its genre. It’s that it somehow makes the lusty undercurrents of its male/female friendship unironically romantic and, at times, unapologetically sexy.

The Playlist -
Headland doesn’t entirely subvert the romantic comedy genre here, but she certainly has fun twisting up some of its most obvious tropes for a little added pizzazz and some major laughs.

Entertainment Weekly -
It’s a smart, flawed movie about smart, flawed people.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Sleeping With Other People is a brittle, bawdy, frequently funny romcom that might be too smart for its own good.
