"From its simple title font evocative of another era to its opening and closing shots reminiscent of The Graduate to its casting of filmmaking icon Peter Bogdanovich, Humboldt County acknowledges its immodest aims early on," writes Kristi Mitsuda at indieWIRE. "Taking as their subject matter a happy, hippie hideaway in the marijuana-rich forests of Northern California, writing and directing team Danny Jacobs and Darren Grodsky seem to think that representation of the unconventional marks their debut effort as such, but the film fails to break any new aesthetic or narrative ground."

"If Being There''s Chance the Gardener were younger, smarter, and a medical student, he might look and act something like Peter Hadley (Jeremy Strong), the character at the center of Humboldt County," writes Hailey Eber for Radar. "Time and motivation get a bit hazy, but what can you expect in the marijuana capitol of North America?"
