- 75Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisEntertainment WeeklyClark CollisHale and Posey are likable leads and director Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) injects proceedings with a propulsiveness which allows you to mostly ignore the odd plot strand which doesn’t really pay off or the general air of preposterousness.
- 67IndieWireJamie RighettiIndieWireJamie RighettiTruth or Dare doesn’t aspire to groundbreaking heights, but it’s got just the right mix of laughs and scares to keep viewers engaged with the ridiculous concept they signed up to watch — and a welcome finale that suggests the game could come back for another round in the future.
- 60The GuardianBenjamin LeeThe GuardianBenjamin LeeThe director, Jeff Wadlow, has a puppyish eagerness to impress, shock and entertain and as silly as the film might get, it’s never dull.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe movie not only fails to represent the peak of the young Blumhouse shingle's output (Get Out is not their only inventive film), but gets silly in ways that we've seen on screen for decades.
- 40TheWrapDan CallahanTheWrapDan CallahanThe premise of Truth or Dare is needlessly convoluted, and it is overloaded with information and side characters.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreCut rate horror like this, they’re just girls in revealing outfits and boys drooling after them — until the next coed gets killed. Preferably after her big make-out scene.

- 30VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanThe movie isn’t scary, it isn’t gripping, it isn’t fun, and it isn’t fueled by any sort of clever compulsion. It’s just a strangely arduous exercise that feels increasingly frantic and arbitrary as it goes along.
- 30Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonThere’s precious little to care about in a movie that’s neither ingenious nor silly enough to savour.
