Entertainment Reviews:
Leo and Monica’s odd-couple team-up holds the film together, with just enough emotion to make it work -- a genuine sweetness amid the chaos.
Empire
[T]here's enough to like in this JOHN WICK-ian live-action cartoon to soften the repeated impact of the mayhem.
Washington Post
FIRST LOVE demonstrates that his energy and inventiveness are still intact.
New York Times
The inimitable Japanese director Takashi Miike has more than 100 features to his name, and this freewheeling mix of slapstick comedy, romantic melodrama, and crime thrillers is one of his greatest accomplishments.

Chicago Reader
4 stars out of 5 -- Kôji Endô’s thundering jazz-rock score amplifies Miike’s tendency towards playful cartoon excess.
The Guardian
FIRST LOVE ranks among Miike’s most purely entertaining movies, gradually building steam until it reaches a sustained pitch of cheerful insanity.
A.V. Club
Low-key indie "First Love" has some interesting but fleeting moments in its story of twins in crisis, but it feels like a first draft whose script could have used more fleshing out, particularly in the characterization of its leads.

Los Angeles Times
[T]here is still plenty of enjoyable gory comic carnage here. The high-energy brio also kicks up a gear in the second half, particularly during the bravura final battle.
