Reception

The film received mostly negative reviews from critics, especially as regards the script and storytelling. Nollywood Reinvented gave the film 24% rating and wrote "For a comedy, Alan Poza is very unfunny. As a romance flick, it is very confusing. And for a drama, it is very chaotic. In the end O.C still didn’t come off to me as the player type. I was not certain how the heck anything happened."^[4] Sodas and Popcorn gave it a 3 out of 5 rating and wrote "The acting was my favorite bit of the whole movie, It pretty much beat the script. All the acts most notably OC Ukeje did justice to their roles. Together as an entire team, the chemistry wasn’t perfect but it was enjoyable and their characters were hilarious."^[5]
