Critical response
Sisterakas received mixed reviews from film critics. In a review for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Amelyn Velayo praised the performances of Eugene Domingo, Andrei Marcelo and Jennylyn Mercado as well as the film's soundtrack and soundtrack samples. However, she criticized the story as unoriginal and the script as too predictable. In a review for GMA News Online, Aimee Tico of Manila Bulletin gave the film three out of five stars and said, "The only problem with the film is that it is too predictable and easy to guess the ending." In an article for the Philippine Star, Cindy Nazareno gave the film two out of four stars and said, "While the film is full of fun, it's a bit cliché in how a love triangle is resolved. The story could have been done in a way that it would seem original, but I feel like the director knew what he was going to do from the beginning and it was no secret."
