Reception
Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a rating of "B-" and wrote that "Smith and Gabriel clearly know their genre and have unique ideas as to how to pillage it for fresh entertainment, but their resistance to fully embrace one idea over the other holds “The Relationtrip” back from really subverting its material."{{cite web |url= https://www.indiewire.com/2017/03/the-relationtrip-review-sxsw-2017-1201793133/|title= 'The Relationtrip' Review: In This Modestly Clever Comedy, The Rom-Com Gets Weird — SXSW 2017|last= Erbland|first= Kate|date= 14 March 2017|website= IndieWire|publisher= |access-date= 23 September 2022|quote=}}
