Christie Ko in his review for ScreenCrave gave the film 610 and said that This documentary is not an exhaustive look at the addiction to gaming, but does a good job of explaining this incident of the couple and their baby in South Korea. It is thorough in its treatment of their story. But it scratched the surface of broader implications that left me with many questions. While, Daniel Fienberg of HitFix said in his review that Love Child never attempts to cheapen the tragedy of Sarangs death, but like Web Junkie, it wants to lay out a pattern of behavior that might seem a little extreme, but also wont feel that outlandish to anybody who counts the Internet among the spaces in which they feel most social. ........
