Bonifacio, in particular, garnered critical acclaim for her performance as Park. In a review of the musical, Marco Sumayao of Adobo Magazine wrote, "AC Bonifacio also establishes herself as a name to watch out for; her Marcy has a slow start due to the impatience written in her script, but AC pulls out all the stops when it comes to 'I Speak Six Languages,' showing that she is every bit the multi-hyphenate performer that her character is. Her do-it-all prowess shows she has massive potential in theater and, given the right tools to grow, she'll have a long, impactful career onstage." Paul John Caña of Esquire Philippines named her as one of Spelling Bee's standout actors, along with Angela Ken and Luis Marcelo. He praised the three for "imbuing their characters with just enough nuance so they don't descend into stereotypes." Likewise, Nikki Francisco of Theater Fans Manila lauded Bonifacio for "impressively" showcasing her "triple threat talents" in Spelling Bee.
Personal life Bonifacio is dating Filipino actor Harvey Bautista.
