Reception Joe Leydon of Variety called Selfie Dad "a more emotional and satisfying piece of work" in comparison to a previous film by writer-director Silverman, Grace Unplugged (2013). Leydon also wrote that Selfie Dad contains, "beneath all the funny business, some well-observed truths" regarding race relations in the United States, but noted that, "right now, those truths may be, well, more than a tad distracting from the story Silverman set out to tell."
Shannon M., in a review of the film for The Dove Foundation (a non-profit organization that publishes reviews "based on Christian values"), called it "a heart-warming film that reveals the truth of Hebrews 4:12."
