Benedict Nightingale from The Times gave the play 3 stars and described the play's odd, diverting mix of cynicism and fairytale fun. He mentioned of JJ's performance;

"The play concerns two handsome twins: warm, kindly and ineffectual Frederic; Hugo, who is the very opposite. J.J. Feild, who plays both here, looks the role or roles but doesn't differentiate enough between them. However, he leaves you in no doubt that Hugo is callous, manipulative - and pretty disingenuous when he claims that the reason he has invited an impoverished beauty called Isabelle to a posh family ball is to distract his brother, who is engaged to a spoilt rich girl who dislikes him."
