Pencapaian 
Hingga 17 Februari 2020, Bad Boys for Life meraup pendapatan kotor sebesar $182.8 juta di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada serta $187 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $369.8 million, against a production budget of $90 million. It is both the highest-grossing film in the Bad Boys franchise and the highest-grossing film released in Januari.

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Dolittle, and was initially projected to gross $35–45 million from 3,740 theaters in its opening weekend, and a total of around $48 million over the four-day MLK weekend. After making $23.5 million on its first day (including $6.36 million from Thursday night previews), estimates were raised to $68 million. It went on to debut to $62.2 million, and $73.4 million over the four days, the second-best opening for the holiday. The film made $34 million in its second weekend and $17.7 million in its third, remaining in first place both times.

Tanggapan pengkritik 
IndieWire said reviews for Bad Boys for Life were "mostly positive". The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 76% based on 238 reviews, and an average rating of 6.21/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Loaded up with action and a double helping of leading-man charisma, Bad Boys for Life reinvigorates this long-dormant franchise by playing squarely to its strengths." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 59 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "the third time really is the charm" and said: "The two directors roll with ease between raucous comedy and raw drama, to considerable effect, just as they crank up the tension on any number of occasions, occasionally with palpably visceral impact." David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a "B" grade, calling it a "fun, explosive, and even thoughtful action movie" and wrote: "Bad Boys for Life doesn't aim to raise the bar on its genre or rewrite the blockbuster rulebook, but it's a blast watching Lawrence and Smith revisit these characters and find a sensible place for them in the current Hollywood landscape."
