David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) says, "There's been a boom in exceptional animated family fare this year, but when it comes to heart and a winning message, none hit the ball out of the park like Everyone's Hero. … The unabashedly sentimental film is a wonderful affirmation of familial love—especially between father and son—and gently reminds us that heroism is about having the courage to 'keep swinging' despite the curve balls life throws at you."

Marcus Yoars (Plugged In) says, "Not counting the misbehavior (running away from home!) mostly played off as slapstick, it's got great heart, cute animation and pristine messages. And though the laughs don't come as often or as hard as they do in the likes of Cars and Over the Hedge, the final 20 minutes of Everyone's Hero make up for what's missing with tenderness."

Lisa Rice (Crosswalk) says, "Everyone's Hero is a delightful animated drama that will strike a chord with such dreamers and entertain the whole family. With a star-studded cast, breathtaking animation … and an entertaining portrayal of several sweet, inspiring life lessons, this is a movie that should draw fans from two to ninety-two this season."

Some mainstream critics call it a strike-out, while others think it's a home run.

Steven D. Greydanus (Decent Films) says, "Everyone's Hero isn't just Reeve's last film, it's also a tribute to the late filmmaker from the colleagues and family who finished the film in his name. As a memorial, Everyone's Hero is a little, well, forgettable—old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant."
