Critical response
The show received generally positive reception from Sandian critics but mixed reception from foreigners. Prior to the premiere of the series finale, Lovers and Brothers had scores of 7/10 on ScoreDot, 8.1/10 on Lookbook, and 8.2/10 on. Genku Yan of Telekino called it "marvelous" and dubbed Lovers and Brothers the best 2020 NBN drama. Ryuko Hyu of Bunkoo Film-TV called the show "one of the best drama series in recent memory", and also noted its balance of comedy and drama.

Writing for Drama News Asia (DNA), Canadian critic Jennie Kang gave it a 6/10 and wrote, "With a premise this unique, Lovers and Brothers has a lot of potential to be this year's best S-drama. [...] Unfortunately, this would-be success has been plagued by awkward dialogue and below-average acting, albeit with a starstudded [sic] cast."
