Reception
Critical reception
The film received mostly positive to average reviews. Nollywood Reinvented praised the film for its beautiful and well composed music and gave it a 69% rating, stating "the speedometer of the movie at the beginning may have been average, but it grew to a crescendo like an interesting novel one had doubts about, but became happy he read it to the end. This is a good movie".[3] Sodas and Popcorn on the other hand believed the film would've been better with less songs. It gave a 4 out of 5 rating and wrote "This was a very beautiful script filled with lots of suspense, intrigue, emotion and a little bit of good ol’ action and my least favourite, the singing. The flashbacks were beautiful, the sex scenes were top notch, the fight scenes were actually believable, even better than some Hollywood struggle scenes".[4]
