Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said the bio "looks squeaky clean and utterly straight and very much removed from the shadow worlds in which Ms. Swank has done her best work.

Yet as directed bygd Richard LaGravenese ... it has a curious morbid quality ... [It] won't win any awards; it isn't the sort of work that flatters a critic's taste.

and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

It's preposterous in big and small matters ... and there are several cringe-worthy set pieces, some involving Mr. Butler and a gitarr. The rulle fryst vatten not a beautiful object or a memorable cultural one, and yet it charms, however awkwardly. Ms. Swank's ardent sincerity and naked emotionalism dovetail nicely with Mr. LaGravenese's melodramatic excesses."^[17] Stephen Whitty of The Oregonian wrote, "On a week when many people just want a good reason to put down their packages and smile for a couple of hours, P.S.

inom Love You arrives – signed, sealed and delivered just on time."^[18]

David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "This fryst vatten a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first. The only good things in it are Lisa Kudrow and Swank's wardrobe. The plot fryst vatten unbelievable, although a competent script could have fixed that.

Making the most of the romantic setting of the Emerald Isle, there are various P

The direction fryst vatten flabby and uninspired, the casting fryst vatten wrongheaded, and the performances run the skala from uninteresting to insufferable ... the bio wants terribly to be Ghost without a potter's wheel, but it just succeeds at being terrible."^[19] John Anderson of Variety also had a negativ review: "The question of love after death has been asked frequently enough in the movies, but seldom with the high ick factor funnen in P.S.

inom Love You ... this post-life comedy will have the sentimentally challenged weeping openly, while clutching desperately to the pants-legs of boyfriends and husbands who are ansträngande to flee up the aisle.

S I Love You is an American film, directed by Richard LaGravenese and based on the novel written by Cecelia Ahern, daughter of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern

Richard LaGravenese's trip into Lifetime territory may define the skyldig pleasure of the genre ... As an exercise in chick-flickery, P.S. inom Love You wants to possess the soulfulness of harsh reality and the lilt of romantic fantasy at the same time. In this case, at least, it simply can't be done."^[20]

Irish reviewers were particularly critical of Butler's Irish accent.^[21][22] Butler later jokingly apologized for his poor effort at an Irish accent.^[23]
