Phillipa Hawker in The Age wrote "'Hungry Heart' is '80s disaffection - not cool but cold." [6] The Sydney Morning Herald's Doug Anderson in his capsual review stated "Nick Carrafa and Davenport offer energetic performances and the film, while not considered good enough for a commercial release, has enough to make it palatable." [7] Susan Demody of Filmnews praises the "sense of an unusual openness and warmth between the characters and the generations" [8]
