The website's critics consensus reads, "Old school for both good and ill, Who Is Erin Carter strains credulity but clearly identifies Evin Ahmad as an engaging action star."[7] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 62 out of 100 based on 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[8] In its review Time wrote "Erin Carter possesses all the elements of an addictive, old-school action drama".[9] Writing in The Guardian, Lucy Mangan awarded it one star out of five in an article headlined "Who Is Erin Carter? – the real question is: who cares?" She remarked: "For those of you who remember the early 90s, think of it as Eldorado with a crime thriller element that no one cares about."[10]
