The film received a mixed reaction from film critics. It garnered a 62% rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 13 reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an mixed or average score of 59, based on seven reviews.
Writing for the Los Angeles Times, critic Michael Rechtshaffen wrote: "They may not do enough to alter the climate change film landscape, but Klein and those impassioned protesters provide something that has been in short supply in the predecessors — namely, a modicum of hope for the future."
Writing for The Guardian, reviewer Henry Barnes stated that the "implication [of the film's opening confession from the author that she's 'always kind of hated films about climate change'] is that This Changes Everything is going to excite and inspire in a way that climate change documentaries have failed to before. It really doesn’t. It gives those of us in the affluent parts of the world more reason to feel bad and only a suggestion of what to do with that feeling."
