Gregory Go Boom received mostly positive reviews from critics. Liana Maeby of HitFix praised Cera and the film by saying that Gregory is a good little short that's worth watching simply to see Michael Cera play a character that looks like "Napoleon Dynamite crossed with Yertle the Turtle." Derek Deskins of Lonely Reviewer, praised the film by saying that Gregory Go Boom is an interestingly dark and ominous short that will make you view Michael Cera completely differently."
