- 90TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeIt’s bright and witty and packed with laughs, but those laughs stem from real empathy and understanding of its characters.
- 83Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattEntertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattA wry low-key dramedy that lands with surprising sweetness.
- 80Film ThreatAlan NgFilm ThreatAlan NgI love Together Together because it’s a sweet and straightforward story surrounding surrogacy. It’s void of Hollywood dramatics and firmly places Ed Helms into that older best friend category on screen.

- 70VarietyTomris LafflyVarietyTomris LafflyBeckwith puts forth something rare and full of feeling. This is a genuine love story between two straight individuals of the opposite sex that doesn’t involve sex (let’s call it friendship for kicks), an insightful redefinition of masculinity as well as a gentle, intimate celebration of a unique, 21st-century family in the making.
- 60SlashfilmChris EvangelistaSlashfilmChris EvangelistaThe comedy on display here is so forced and without charm that it made me wish Beckwith and company had abandoned any attempt at humor and instead tried to make Together Together more of a straightforward drama with occasionally funny moments. That’s the better version of this film, and you can see it trying to claw its way out from beneath all the quirks.
- 58The PlaylistAndrew CrumpThe PlaylistAndrew CrumpFor a movie about the inequities inherent in both parent/surrogate relationships and expecting father/expecting mother relationships, the stakes hover surprisingly low in the plot stratosphere.
- 50The Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsThe Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsThe ingredients look enticing enough, but director Nicole Beckwith isn’t cooking with real spice. Her insular drama operates at a consistent slow burn—it has just enough steam to keep you interested without ever bubbling over into interesting.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyIt's pleasant enough, but lacks the vitality to be more than mildly funny as comedy as well as the insight to build emotional heft as drama.
