Critical reception
"'My Movie World'" blogger gave a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stating that, "Ned's Project is a powerful and original romance that finally portrays the homosexual romance as two humans falling in love and never plays it for cliches, stereotypes, or comedy." Oggs Cruz from 'Rappler' praised Bayani and Eigenmann's performance in the film stating that, "Bayani is impressive. She bathes the typical gestures that are expected of her character with tenderness. Maxene Eigenmann, who plays the woman who cures Ned of her heart's pain, injects her character with enough charm and appeal to make her role in Ned's life both believable and relatable." Arnel Ramos from 'Glitter.ph' gave a positive review saying that "Ned's Project was a cinematic journey that needed to be experienced over and again." While 'LCN (Latest Celebrity News Philippines)' criticized Bayani on her role stating that, '"'Sorry to say but Angeli Bayani failed to convince us that she's a lesbian in this film"
