Palm Springs has been well received almost universally Here are some of the comments from film critics:
"Rolling Stone" magazine: "Before you dismiss Palm Springs as Groundhog Day at a wedding, realize that you're watching this sneakily provocative romantic comedy in a way the filmmakers never intended The pandemic has made the idea of repeating the same day over and over again with the same people (but this time wearing masks) all too real
Time: " The film is very light on its feet, never intrusive or didactic, even as it asks us to confront a piercing truth about the elusive meaning of love and happiness"
Vulture: "Cute as Milioti and Samberg's Hello Kitty chemistry would have been almost off-putting if not for a few obvious facts waiting in the wings to spoil things
Entertainment Weekly: "At its core, the film is too in love with love, or at least its messy, time-hopping ideals, to be a true discomfort comedy of its kind So perhaps it lacks courage, but in this moment in which we live, who can begrudge a happy ending?
The Curvy Film Critic: "Christine Milioti and Andy Samberg are comedy gold, with precious, powerful, playful, palpable chemistry"[27
