The site also gave Homemade a rating grade of an A-. On Decider, journalist Anna Menta praised the short Crickets by Kristen Stewart, describing the short as "jump cuts, not-so-great sound, existential mumblings, and a plot that’s not really a plot. Still, Stewart is an incredible actress, and you can see every micro-expression on her face in the extreme close-ups."
