Critical response
Courtney Small of 'That Shelf' praised the film, writing that "anchored by strong performances by Roberts and Wilson, stunning cinematography from long time collaborator Jordan Oram, and an amazing soundtrack, there is much to engulf oneself here. Fyffe-Marshalls constructs a poetically beautiful and heartfelt love letter to Jamaica and sense of community it fosters. When Morning Comes is a mesmerizing work that both delivers on the promise Fyffe-Marshall displayed in her short films and solidifies her as one of the most exciting voices in cinema."Courtney Small, [https://thatshelf.com/tiff-2022-when-morning-comes-review/ "TIFF 2022: When Morning Comes Review"].
