Critically, "Put Grandma in the Freezer" received mixed responses. The film holds an IMDb rating of 6.0/10, reflecting a lukewarm audience reception. Some reviewers praised the film for its bold blending of humor and crime, acknowledging Fabio De Luigi's charismatic performance and the film's quirky style. For example, Cineuropa noted that the film "balances dark comedy and slapstick effectively, producing plenty of laughs along the way," while highlighting its homage to classic genre films. However, others criticized it for uneven pacing and a convoluted plot. On Rotten Tomatoes, while it doesn’t have an official aggregate score due to limited international release, audience feedback reflects a divide, with some appreciating the originality and others finding it confusing or tonally inconsistent. Metacritic does not list this film, indicating limited critical coverage outside Italy. Overall, "Put Grandma in the Freezer" is viewed as a cult-leaning dark comedy that appeals to fans of offbeat narratives but might perplex general audiences expecting a straightforward comedy.
