The series has received positive reviews. Rose Bridges of Anime News Network gave I Love You So Much, I Hate You an overall A rating, noting that it was one of her new favorite yuri mangas. She summarized that "the big honest feelings, clever humor, and just-right amounts of drama and sexuality come together into the perfect romantic package."[5]
Erica Friedman of Yuricon commented that the series was a "very decent guilty pleasure read" noting that "in real life, Fujimura and Asano and their hidden-in-plain-sight affair, would probably be absolutely intolerable separately and together, but as a fiction, it all feels, well, kind of sweet…and, with an epilogue that ties the story up, satisfying."[6]
