Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "It has the shape of a movie, but none of the stuff to make it move."[7]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The film doesn't craft a compelling narrative to support its cause. Shoddy camera work, murky lighting, and a grating score hinder what could have been impactful. A puzzling climax also makes little sense after a long build up."[8]

Sergio Pereira of Comic Book Resources also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Despite the cast's best efforts and the noir gloss on display, Confidential Informant surrenders to lackluster editing, flawed logic, and the clichés."[9]
