BBC describes this film as a "charming tale of a young French girl who helps strangers find love and happiness." The New York Times has a positive review. Variety calls it a "fresh, funny, exquisitely bittersweet tour de force". Roger Ebert says it's
a delicious pastry of a movie, a lighthearted fantasy in which a winsome heroine overcomes a sad childhood and grows up to bring cheer to the needful and joy to herself.
