The film holds an 18% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 28 reviews, with an average of 4.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "While it hopes to make viewers swoon over a bond that defies death, all but the most passionate fans of YA romance may struggle to arouse even puppy love for Endless."[2] On Metacritic, it holds a rating of 27 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[7]

Tara McNamara of Common Sense Media awarded the film two stars out of five.[8] Tomris Laffly of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one star.[9] Kate Erbland of IndieWire graded the film a D+.[5] Lisa Kennedy of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "But amiable leads Alexandra Shipp and Nicholas Hamilton — along with a thoughtfully in-sync supporting cast — keep things unfolding in a kind-hearted place when the screenplay could have easily marooned the audience in a copycat purgatory."[10] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "For only the most undiscriminating YA romantics."[1]
