Reception
I Love You, Baby was met with mixed reviews. Cineclub stated that "Nick Lyon has chosen a good path for the implementation of this thriller: In loosely cut, sunny pictures, he presents a story that switch between eroticism, tragedy and Thriller and hergleitet without ever digressing."[2] Some appreciated the picturesque locales and the screenplay.[3] However, Schnitt gave it a negative review, calling it as a low grade television movie with numerous wide shots that actually kills the cinema audience.[4]
