The movie treats a girl's burgeoning sexuality as neither epic nor problematic, or mutually exclusive of feelings of love, but rather simply, refreshingly, as one part of maturing.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Teenage boys aren't alone in exploring their confused and unruly libidos. Girls go there, too. And when they do, it's no small thing.
Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle

"Turn Me On, Dammit!" is a rarity: a comedy about a teenage girl's budding sexuality, treated with wit and kindness.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A wry if saucily subversive charmer, based on a novel by Olaug Nilssen.
