It won the Best Comedy Short Award at the 2015 Manhattan Film Festival, Best Comedy Short Award at the 2015 Chain NYC Film Festival,[5] 2 awards from the 2015 Indie Fest Film Festival,[6] and the Best Comedy award at the 2015 Trinity International Film Festival. In total the film received 6 wins and 12 nominations. Carl Burgess with ScreenCritix gave the film a positive review: "Prego may only be a two-hander in one location (except for a brief flashback), but the short never becomes boring. This is in thanks to the sharp, funny script and the two great performances from Katie Vincent and Taso Mikroulis. Vincent plays the role of Katie superbly, and Mikroulis’ portrays Mark great as bumbling idiot." Nicholas La Salla with Forest city short film review gave the short a 3.4/5 and mentioned: "Though the storyline has a "been there, done that" feel (most notably in the big budget Knocked Up), the aforementioned fork in the plot toward the end made up for a lot. The jokes are by and large funny and the characters play off each other in humorous ways."[7]
