[[Bosley Crowther]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' described the film as "commendable" and "sympathetic," finding the "vague and elusive" explanation of the characters' ills to be "one of the stumbling blocks in this film," but praising Dullea and Margolin, whose portrayal of the protagonists' "growing curiosity and attachment in the midst of a cheerless institute" is "touchingly presented."<ref name="Crowther">{{cite news|last=Crowther|first=Bosley|title=Odd Romance Involves Mentally Ill Children|date=December 27, 1962|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1962/12/27/archives/screen-david-and-lisaodd-romance-involves-mentally-ill-children.html|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=8 May 2022}}</ref>
