On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 43%, indicating a divisive reception among critics. According to one review from the site, 'The film delves into teenage pressures with a heartfelt—if somewhat predictable—narrative.' Meanwhile, Metacritic gives the film a score of 46/100, which reflects 'mixed or average reviews.' An IMDb rating of 6.4/10 indicates that while some viewers appreciated the story, it failed to resonate with a broader audience. A review on MovieWeb stated, 'Linz delivers a compelling performance, but the screenplay lacks depth and nuance, making it hard to fully engage with Connor's struggles.' Overall, while Choose Connor manages to touch upon important issues relevant to today's youth, it may leave some viewers wanting more in terms of character development and originality.
