Reception

[edit]

Call Mom! received 3/5 stars from Helena Lindblad [sv] in Dagens Nyehter.[3] In a mixed-to-positive review for Kulturnyheterna [sv], critic Fredrik Sahlin [sv] praised Sanna Sundqvist's comedic leading performance but felt the film occasionally leaned too far into formulaic genre tropes.[4] Both Lindblad and Sahlin noted similarities to Bridget Jones Diary.[3][4] Jens Peterson [sv] cited a scene involving Cecilia Forss and Björn Gustafsson as the film's funniest.[5]

Sundqvist and Evin Ahmad were both nominated for Guldbagge Awards for their performances. Aschan was nominated for the Guldbagge Award for Best Screenplay.[6]
