Reception
Rebecca Silverman praised the luscious backgrounds and growing interest in sidecar racing. Theron Martin found the relationship between Yuri and Megumi potentially intriguing but questioned its place in the fall schedule. James Beckett commended the animation of racing sequences and the use of CG, but criticized the main leads' motivation tied to a romance with their unseen coach. Nick Creamer felt the show lacked drama or urgency in racing and character interactions, calling it an easy skip. Stig Høgset of THEM Anime Reviews praised the beautiful scenery complementing CG vehicles, sound editing, and technical aspects, but criticized the cast for bearing unfulfilling comedic and dramatic elements, concluding the drama and comedy are not up to speed.
