Some chapters from "Syrup" were also included in issues of Monthly Action and Web Action. Reception. Anime News  Network gave the first volume an overall C+ grade. Silverman notes that taken as whole "it is a bit more miss than hit with a high percentage of stories feeling truncated and at least one premise that badly suffers because of that." However Silverman felt future volumes may show improvement. The OASG rated the first volume similarly with a 3/5, though they did praise the first volumes theme "the variety of stories about adult women in this first volume is just what some yuri fans have been clamoring for." CBR had a more positive reception to the series, likening it  to a collection of poems of various themes and praising volumes 1's theme "Though the harsh realities of love as an adult are painfully clear, the sweetness of its title runs through it all."
