Jenny Singer from [[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]] writes "''The Ultimatum'' on Netflix is even better than ''[[Love Is Blind (TV series)|Love Is Blind]]''. Yes, really." Singer continues "''The Ultimatum'' feels like an actual attempt at partnership—love, sex, intimacy, friendship, caring for each other’s dogs. The ending is insane, and so is the beginning, and the middle. That just makes it, oddly, realistic."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-06 |title='The Ultimatum' on Netflix Is Even Better Than 'Love Is Blind' |url=https://www.glamour.com/story/the-ultimatum-on-netflix-review |access-date=2023-02-23 |website=Glamour |language=en-US}}</ref> |
