Chasing Ghosts generally received mixed to negative reviews from critics. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of 5.3/10, reflecting a lukewarm audience response. Critics frequently praised Michael Madsen's gritty performance and the film's atmospheric portrayal of New York City's darker side but criticized the screenplay and pacing. Rotten Tomatoes lacks an official critic score for the film, yet audience feedback was mixed; some viewers appreciated the noir style and tense moments, while others found the plot predictable and the character development lacking. Metacritic does not list a score for the movie, indicating limited critical coverage. In a review by DVD Talk, the film was described as "a typical low-budget crime thriller with occasional flashes of style" but noted it suffered from "thin plotting and underdeveloped characters." Overall, Chasing Ghosts appeals to fans of urban crime dramas and Michael Madsen enthusiasts but may leave others wanting a more compelling narrative and sharper direction.
