The Season Of Gilbert Mulroneycakes gave it a 4:
Ah, Mr Sinyor. We meet again...for the last time! The Bachelor is at least better than Gary's last venture, the nigh-unwatchable rom-com "Solitare For 2". This one works a little better, probably because he didn't write it himself, like he did with Solitare. He is a good director, I'll give him that. He has a good eye for composition and a neat sense of pace. Unfortunately, the material's a nothing. It's not unenjoyable, just sort of meh. A masterpiece compared to Solitare For 2, mind.
