Joe Ballard of CBR reviewed the anime series throughout its run. In early reviews, Ballard said that it is similar to Bloom Into You and called it "a heartwarming coming-of-age story" while noting the "growing friendship" between Adachi and Shimamura, as their relationship expands, and their bond strengthens.{{cite web |last1=Ballard |first1=Joe |title=Adachi & Shimamura Is a Yuri Anime Worth the Hype |url=https://www.cbr.com/adachi-shimamura-yuri-anime-worth-hype/ |website=CBR |access-date=December 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029061548/https://www.cbr.com/adachi-shimamura-yuri-anime-worth-hype/ |archive-date=October 29, 2020 |date=October 1, 2020 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}{{cite web |last1=Ballard |first1=Joe |title=Adachi & Shimamura Debuts With Friendship Brewing -

A review of the first volume in Publishers Weekly called the series "oddly voyeuristic" and felt it was "inexplicably" being marketed to an adult audience. The review further criticized the characters as "flimsy adult fantasies" with no complexity, and concluded by saying that it may have appeal with a teenaged audience but would not interest older readers.{{Cite magazine |date=April 16, 2020 |title=Adachi and Shimamura |magazine=Publishers Weekly |volume=267 |issue=16 |pages=56–57}}
