On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 55% based on 20 reviews and an average rating of 6/10.[5]

Philip Martin of Arkansas Democrat-Gazette gave it an 80 out of 100, stating "It's sunny and wistful; something to go see if that's what you need right now."[6]

Nick Allen at RogerEbert.com scored it a 1.5 out of 4 and said "This premise would excel far better, and go much deeper with its targeted themes, in something like a dark comedy; that Mighty Oak embraces this delusion with no sarcasm and a lot of wish fulfillment is at the very least worrisome."[7] [8]
