[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave the film two out of four stars saying, "It wants to be a caper, a comedy, a romance, and a showcase for Macaulay Culkin. That's too much of a stretch."<ref>{{cite web|last=Ebert|first=Roger|title=Getting Even With Dad :: Reviews|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19940617/REVIEWS/406170302|publisher=[[The Chicago Sun-Times]]|access-date=February 8, 2013|date=June 17, 1994}}{{Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
[[Desson Howe]] of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' also gave the film a negative review explaining that "after plying the audience with formulaic predictability, ''Getting Even'' doesn't even have the decency to end quickly. Minutes away from sending the audience home, it chooses to fall asleep on the job."<ref>{{cite news|last=Howe|first=Desson|title=Getting Even With Dad|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/gettingevenwithdadpg13howe_a0b066.htm|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=February 8, 2013|date=June 17, 1994}}</ref>
