Reception

Mark Schilling of The Japan Times said, "Iwata evidences a surreal visual flair in the early scenes especially, as in the dreamy shot of revolving shadows resolving into spinning ice skaters to injured Teruhiko's woozy eyes."{{cite web|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/ff20111202a2.html|title='Yubiwa wo Hametai (Looking For a True Fiance)'|work=The Japan Times|author=Mark Schilling|authorlink=Mark Schilling|date=December 2, 2011}}
