Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote "It's an easy watch that nonetheless consistently feels like a grazing blow rather than a knockout".[4] Nick Schager of Slant Magazine added his criticism of the film, stating "Dax Shepard delivers an I'm Still Here-style mockumentary of staggering incompetence with Brother's Justice".[5]
Eric Hynes of Time Out gave the film 1 star out of 5,[6] while Andy Webster of The New York Times called the film "[an] ultralow-budget".[7]
The Village Voice's Aaron Hillis compared Brother's Justice to an overlong episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, adding that unlike that show "[this film has] none of the wit and [is] twice [as] irritati[ng]".[8]
According to Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times "[It's b]etter to revisit such memorable Hollywood satires as The Big Picture or For Your Consideration before indulging Shepard's uninspired whimsy".[9]
