Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Sukhdev Sandhu said the film is "Far from the dark, astringent territory of The Damned United or the Red Riding trilogy, it's closer in kind to Brassed Off and The Full Monty, fusing politics and romance to create a charming if erratically performed portrayal of working-class dream life."
