Maurice lia of the film magazine 'Squences' compared the film negatively to the 1975 wartime drama 'Bound for Glory (Partis pour la gloire)', calling it a vulgar farce that wasn't actually funny enough to call it a comedy.Maurice lia, "Cinma canadien". 'Squences', No. 87 (January 1977), p. 2930. Writing for 'Le Devoir', Andr Leroux opined that Fournier had no idea how to construct a screenplay, a compelling plot or believable characters.Charles-Henri Ramond, [https://www.filmsquebec.com/films/je-suis-loin-de-toi-mignonne-claude-fournier/ "Je suis loin de toi Mignonne Film de Claude Fournier"]. 'Films du Qubec', February 8, 2009. Despite its negative critical reception, however, the film was moderately successful at the Quebec box office, and Michel later named it as one of the films she was most proud of in her career, in part because she had been directly involved in writing it."Dominique Michel clbre par lphant".

It was included in a retrospective of Michel's career at the Cinmathque qubcoise in 2017.
