- 80The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSimultaneously rowdy and slick, Buffaloed is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch’s moxie and pell-mell performance.
- 75The Film StageJohn FinkThe Film StageJohn FinkA surprisingly fun comedy.
- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreDeutch is is just-short-of-dazzling as the persuasive opportunist who convinces one and all that “debt is JAIL,” and what they’re selling to debtors is the chance to “break these people OUT.”
- 75New York PostJohnny OleksinskiNew York PostJohnny OleksinskiThanks largely to the feisty Deutch, Buffaloed is a fun time, even if it’s about everybody’s least-favorite kind of phone call.
- 75SlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiSlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiWith director Tanya Wexler lending the crime dramedy a zippy, irreverent flair, Buffaloed becomes the vehicle for which Deutch can finally show off her chops.
- 70Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersLos Angeles TimesKimber MyersThis is a fast, fun watch that succeeds largely on the charms of its star and the able hands of its director.
- 58IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandBuffaloed wants to package searing insights into the crooked world of debt collecting into a cutesy comedy, leaning hard on Deutch’s skills and far less on a script that’s unwilling to get nasty with its subject matter.

- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckHer (Zoey Deutch) wildly entertaining performance proves the standout element of the picture, which never quite reaches the comic heights for which it's aiming.
- 40TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanTheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanThe real problem is that no one involved seems to realize that their heroine is, in fact, an antiheroine. Had the movie gone all-in on Peg’s amorality, we might have had a more interesting project.
