Reception Edward Guthmann of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review, finding it to pale in comparison to other films of the Dogme 95 movement, writing: "The essence of Dogma is the stripping away of slick, external factors to produce an emotional rawness. "Reunion," filmed in California, has nothing to strip down to: instead of exposing the truth, it exposes incompetence and the emptiness of the script."
