AV Club chimed in, praising its easy-going nature: "The show is never too intense, with the eight half-hour instalments flowing by breezily.

The characters are entertaining and worth spending time with, and the miniseries boasts well-written banter, immersive settings, and, best of all, Antonio Vivaldi's eponymous violin concertos acting as a comforting companion throughout this journey. ". ‌ A reviewer observed the relatability factor: "For those in long-term relationships, there is comfort in seeing some experiences put on screen.

And for those whose relationships may be newer, there is wisdom to be gleaned in this show." The Guardian's critic, meanwhile, was effusive with praise, particularly for certain cast members: "Like The White Lotus without deaths, this brilliant tale of old college friends holidaying together is Fey's finest work in years. Steve Carell and Colman Domingo are revelatory."
