"Weird Loners" received mixed reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the series a score of 42% based on reviews from 24 critics and an average rating of 5.5 out of 10. Neil Genzlinger of "The New York Times" gave the series a positive review, stating: "["Weird Loners" is] not loud or frenetic. It’s not particularly cutting-edge. It’s just funny, in a relaxed way that’s welcome somehow in a television spectrum full of pushiness and intensity ." Gwen Ihnat of "The A.V. Club" wrote a positive review giving the series a "B+" grade. She observed that "What "Weird Loners" has in its corner is an appealing cast and some hard-hitting TV vets" and remarked that "Since [Jake] Kasdan and [Michael J.] Weithorn both know their way around a sitcom set, it’s not a surprise that "Weird Loners" soon adds more gravity than most new shows boast from right out of the gate."
