Reviewer Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars, calling the film "a love letter" to Farley and said that Farley "probably would have been embarrassed and a bit shy about the whole thing.

Film critic Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+, calling it "skillfully helmed" by directors Brent Hodge and Derik Murray.
