Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Whatever charms the filmmakers envisioned are nowhere apparent in these 83 cringe-worthy minutes."^[9]

John Paul King of the Los Angeles Blade gave the film a positive review and concluded "Because in the end, that’s what makes “Cubby” – as well as its awkward hero – lovable in spite of itself. It's a film that is often infuriating and sometimes difficult to watch, but it has a voice of its own that is not quite like anything else you've ever seen – and there are very few films out there today, Indie or otherwise, that can lay claim to that."^[10]
