The series has received generally positive reviews. Anime News Network gave the first volume of I Can't Believe I Slept with You! an overall B rating, remarking of the premise had a lot of legwork to do to bring readers around to the main couple but remarked that they were "nevertheless surprised at just how subtle yet involved the series is in raising some rather realistic questions about non-heteronormative sexual orientations and how society views them."[10] Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the first volume "solid 7 with plenty of room to grow", praising the art, though noting a disconnect with the comedy aspects of the series due the to sad circumstances of each characters lives, "As a romantic comedy, when the comedy is rooted in pain, it's hard for me to laugh."[11]

The series was featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga ranking for 2022.[12]
