Class Action garnered mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised the performances of Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, others felt that the film's narrative was predictable and its character development lacked depth. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a respectable 77% based on 31 reviews, stating 'Class Action's compelling premise is enhanced by solid performances and a palpable chemistry between its leads.' Metacritic, however, rated the film lower with a score of 58 out of 100, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.

Overall, Class Action offers a thought-provoking exploration of family relationships and legal battles, but falls short in fully engaging its audience.
