Reception
Chen Yunhong of Shin Min Daily News rated the film three-and-a-half stars out of five.[10] Wendy Teo gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the performances of Pang and Chin, as well as the cameo of Lee, but criticising the film's editing, the "cliched" twist, and stated that "the thin material of I Do I Do doesn't provide a wide enough stage for their talents."[6]
