The film received mixed to negative reviews with 32% approval rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes, with an average score of 4.7 out of 10, based on 31 collected reviews.[3]

Comedian and former Mystery Science Theater 3000 host Michael J. Nelson named the film the second-worst comedy ever made.[4]

Notably Roger Ebert was a fan of the film, giving it 31/2 out of four stars and maintaining that:

“I know this sounds odd, but Schwarzenegger is perfect for the role. Observe his acting carefully in Junior, and you’ll see skills that many ‘serious’ actors could only envy.”[5]

Ebert and his partner Gene Siskel gave the film “two thumbs up” on their television show.

In May 2007, Sandy Smith had launched an essay writing competition, asking entrants to attempt to prove that Junior could be considered the greatest movie of all time. He obsessively started collecting copies of the movie in November 2005, and eventually collected 24 copies. In February 2008, despite Sunday Herald covering the story,[6] the competition received fewer entries than there were prizes offered.
