Slant Magazine by Steve Macfarlane
The film is knowingly sarcastic in its self-awareness without falling back on the gawky meta-squealing of its American rom-com counterparts.

Time Out London by Trevor Johnston
Not exactly arthouse, but as subtitled fluff goes, we’re talking première classe.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
The film relies heavily on the charm of its lead performers, and both rise to the occasion.
New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier
With a snappy score made up of American standards and tons of Gallic spice, “Love” wins us over.
Arizona Republic by Bill Goodykoontz
What raises it a notch above the typical slick Hollywood romances are its stars, Ludivine Sagnier and Nicolas Bedos.
The Playlist
If women's pictures are truly dying (in this personal reviewer's opinion, they are not if you know where to look) it's movies like Love Is In The Air that are its executioner.
Empire by David Parkinson
A romantic-comedy that isn't funny or romantic.
The New York Times by Miriam Bale
The two leads have enough genuine sex appeal to make the film endurable.
Los Angeles Times by Sheri Linden
Though the actors' chemistry sets off no fireworks and the story is never truly involving, the movie does manage to avoid being outright painful.
Village Voice by Steve Erickson
Wrapped in slick direction (including plenty of split-screen), this goes down easy, but it's wholly unbelievable. Worse, it's instantly forgettable.
