Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of 35 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Kelly & Cal is a compellingly offbeat treat for fans of character-driven drama -- and a showcase for Juliette Lewis' formidable gifts." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 64 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.

Rodrigo Perez of IndieWire wrote that "while Kelly & Cal flirts with interesting concepts under a superficial dynamic you haven’t seen paired before, ultimately its narrative is both familiar and predictable."
