The results are a little life lesson-y but well-observed.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The entire film is good but the revelation here is Hahn, reliably one of the funniest women in Hollywood, now suddenly given a rich, complex and even sexy role.
Tom Long, Detroit News

It's refreshing to hear dialogue that's natural and modern and doesn't try to pontificate. And the rewards are many.
Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle

"Afternoon Delight" puts the typical suburban mother's lifestyle under an uncomfortably honest microscope, then documents the sporadically funny and occasionally sad results.
Sean O'Connell, Washington Post
