Critical Reception[]
Maj Canton from Radio Times gave "Someone to Love Me" a one-star rating, stating: "Sadly, good intentions and a social conscience don't justify this sort of simple-minded manipulative drama."
Andy Webb of The Movie Scene wrote: "What makes "Someone to Love Me" slightly stand out from the crowd is both the writing when it comes to the character of Kaley but also Jessica Bowman's performance as it is much better than you might expect from this sort of movie."
