Critical reception
Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com wrote that Punk Vacation "is undeniably amusing, tickling in a manner only ragtag nonsense can", calling it "a clean, mean machine of goofballery with a distinct period perspective, and while a viewing requires heavy lifting in the tolerance department, the reward is a generous serving of schlock that never bores or fails to amaze with its creative limitations." Annie Choi of Bleeding Skull! wrote that the film "languishes into a mediocre-at-best revenge story with no defining insanity. There are no moments that excite, stun, amuse, or even confuse." She criticized the lack of "wild antics" from the punk characters, as well as the lack of punk music in the film, writing: "Clearly, one-time director Stanley Lewis had never seen a punk in his life."
