Filipino film critic Philbert Dy gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 and praised Bernardo’s performance. Oggs Cruz, writing for Rappler, reviewed the film thus, “Hello, Love, Goodbye’ is fine entertainment – one that doesn’t dumb down the issues it puts forward for the sake of a standard happy ending.”

He pointed out that while the romantic plot was formulaic and characters seemed to have become stereotypical, the film’s strengths were its depiction of Hong Kong through the female protagonist’s perspective and of the struggles of overseas Filipino workers as domestic helpers. In his review, Armando B. Chavez of Philippine Daily Inquirer said that the love story stood out due to the “backdrop of the plight of OFWs in Hong Kong.”

He also praised the musical editing, the close-up shots of the protagonists, and performances of Bernardo and Richards, describing them as tour de force. He wrote “This is a date movie if ever there’s one. As they say back home, “just feel the feeling.” Sit back, secretly dab the tears away… resistance is futile.”

Ricky Lo of The Philippine Star gave a generally positive review of the film particularly the comic relief provided by Abella, Bautista, and Entrata. Tito Genova Valiente however disagreed and considered the trio’s performances as “aggravating” while praising Bernardo and Richard, stating, “There is Bernardo with perhaps the quietest performance for any actress of her generation. Bernardo can act within a small frame, holding her face solidly as if a slight movement will mar that portrayal.

Alden gets the cinematographic love as well. His Ethan starts fun and ends tragic but with lots of hope, even if it does not matter what happens to that hope. When those tears fall from Richards’s eyes, they bring us back to those old, old cinemas of leading men looking beautiful and strong in grief.

The special gala premiere is showcase about black theme of decoration at Major lobby area. During the event was entertain by song called “The Impossible Dream” sing by Juna (The Filipino singer) and performance dance by Ninja Top crew.
