Critical response

Justino Dormiendo, writing for the Manila Standard, gave the film a negative review, criticizing it as thoroughly formulaic and unfunny, while noting that "Contrary to our expectations, Bugoy does not go to congress." He stated that "This is an idiotic non-movie cashing in on the audience appeal of the latest electoral contest, a subject that should be more effectively tackled in satire or parody, which this film is doubly ignorant of."
