CRITICAL RECEPTION

Screen Rant criticized Senior Years over-reliance on millennial nostalgia at the expense of story and character development, saying "The issue is Senior Year gets so caught up with referencing the early aughts that it forgets to have any depth to its story." In a two-star review, Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com commended the performance of Angourie Rice, citing that "she accurately channels Wilson's sly, deadpan delivery". The Guardian criticized the film's humor, calling it "an R-rated comedy that wants to be both sweet and salty, a balance it never manages to perfect".
