Reception
Annlee Ellingson of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while Zea "gives a natural performance amid a neighborhood of painful stereotypes", she "doesn’t adjust her cadence, let alone accent, for the historical flashbacks, bringing a modern sensibility that limits the effectiveness of these scenes", while Parise is "reduced to talking to a pet bird to explain his emotions."{{cite web |url= https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-sweet-talk-review-20131213-story.html|title= Review: ‘Sweet Talk’ spins into a fantasy journey|last= Ellison|first= Annlee|date= 12 December 2013|website= Los Angeles Times|publisher= |access-date= 30 November 2022|quote=}}
Joe Leydon of Variety called the film a "borderline embarrassing vanity project that brings out the worst in TV vet Peter Lefcourt" and wrote that Zea and Parise "bring impressive measures of conviction to laughable dialogue".{{cite web |url= https://variety.com/2013/film/reviews/film-review-sweet-talk-1200952369/|title= Film Review: ‘Sweet Talk’|last= Leydon|first= Joe|date= 13 December 2013|website= Variety|publisher= |access-date= 30 November 2022|quote=}}
Gabe Toro of IndieWire gave the film a grade of "D-" and called it "very cheap, wholly unconvincing, and loaded with dull narration.".{{cite web |url= https://www.indiewire.com/2013/12/review-for-those-of-you-who-miss-red-shoe-diaries-dont-worry-sweet-talk-is-here-248727/|title= Review: For Those Of You Who Miss ‘Red Shoe Diaries,’ Don’t Worry, ‘Sweet Talk’ Is Here|last= Toro|first= Gabe|date= 13 December 2013|website= IndieWire|publisher= |access-date= 30 November 2022|quote=}}
