<blockquote>[The film] resembles a first-rate production of a children's story. Its sense of parents and the summer after high school is myopic, presented totally from the teenagers' point of view. Yet its melodrama—Will Dad go to prison? Will Diane go to England?—distorts that perspective, so the film doesn't have much to offer an actual adult, not even a sense of what it's truly like to be just out of high school these days. The film is all charming performances and grace notes, but there are plenty of worse things to be.<ref>{{cite web|first=Caryn|last=James|title=Mismatched Teen-Agers Fall in Love, Of Course|url= https://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/14/movies/review-film-mismatched-teen-agers-fall-in-love-of-course.html |work=[[The New York Times]]|date=April 14, 1989|access-date=January 13, 2017|archive-date=January 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116182132/http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=950DE0DB1231F937A25757C0A96F948260|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>
