R.L. Shaffer of IGN scored the film 2/10, writing "Alas, Wrong Side of Town gets everything wrong. The producers cast a bunch of wrestlers who can't act and they gave them unbelievable dialogue and stupid characters. It's no wonder their performances are terrible. No one is guided in the right direction, and the entire production feels like a high school-produced cheapie that everyone's ashamed they made".
