On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 98% based on 43 reviews, with an average rating of 7.67/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "A feelgood adventure brought to life by outstanding performances, The Peanut Butter Falcon finds rich modern resonance in classic American fiction."[6] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]
Peter Debruge of Variety called the film "a feel-good niche indie with its priorities in the right place."[8] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "[Gottsagen's] sensibility infuses the modern-day fable with an engaging forthrightness. But the unequivocal material often sticks close to the surface, and the film built around him, for all its physical sweep, can feel constricted by obviousness."[9]
