"Hazel and Augustus will live in film lore because of the young actors who play them". Chris Vongar of Dallas Morning News gave the film a B+ as "the movie is witty and alive and only very occasionally maudlin". Claudia Puig of USA Today called the film "well-written, well-acted, acerbic, funny and wisely observed", giving it 3.5 out of 4. Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly called the film a "funny, sweet, three-hankie tearjerker" and gave the B grade. Geoff Pevere of The Globe and Mail said, "While it may not conform to one's real-life expectations it hews certainly tightly to teen-conflict conventions". Ognie Conniele of The Miami Herald gave the film a B+ as "the movie is witty and alive and only very occasionally maudlin".
