On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.8/10, reflecting a generally unfavorable response from viewers. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have not registered it on their main aggregation charts, suggesting limited mainstream critical engagement. Some positive feedback highlights Louis DeStefano's effort to craft a tense thriller with emotional undercurrents, praising the gritty cinematography and mood-setting music. However, others point out the film's lack of narrative cohesion and character development as major drawbacks.

Overall, "Another Way To Die" is regarded as a film with ambitions that fall short of impact, appealing primarily to niche audiences interested in independent crime dramas.
