Reception

Critical response

Bernie Franco of PEP.ph gave the film a positive review, stating "When The Love Is Gone can hardly be accused of simply riding on the bandwagon because it is a remake of the 1983 Filipino movie "Nagalit ang Buwan sa Haba ng Gabi".[23] He also stated that "the twists in the story are definitely something to watch for and these separate When The Love is Gone from other drama movies also tackling the same theme" and[23] "is worth watching despite the proliferation of movies about extramarital affairs nowadays."[23] He also praised the cast's performance and the film's script.[23]

Pablo Tariman of The Philippine Star also gave the film a positive review, stating that "When the Love Is Gone is another polished variation of a beautiful love story sensually told with wit and finesse."[24] He also praised Ranay's astounding performance as a director.[24]

It is sad that the movie did not fly as expected inspite of the beautiful reviews and the much more improved remake from the original story which was a blockbuster. It was a rather unfortunate incident that at the time the movie was launched "querida' movies where the in thing and the viewing public was made to believe that this was just another "kabit" movie which did not show any redeeming value or quality in the movie, when in fact, it had so much to show, so many lessons to be learned in the movie with all its twists in the plot. Viva should have done a better job of promoting this movie. It surely would have been a hit!

gollark: I had a somewhat sore arm and a headache the next day.
gollark: And I don't mean "meddling government bad", I mean "if the government seems like it might subsidize home buyers soon, you might want to hold off on buying a house", or "if taxes on property seem like they might increase, you might want to not buy a house".
gollark: What? No.
gollark: And future government policy, since they tend to meddle lots with this stuff. This is quite hard.
gollark: Also your future predictions of those things.
