The Amazing Race 23 received mixed reviews. Daniel Fienberg of HitFix wrote that it "was an average-to-slightly-below-average 'Amazing Race' season. There were some memorable moments and a few likable people, even if they were eliminated way too earlier. There’s a version of this season in which Chester & Ephraim and Brandon & Adam make it way, way further and the season ends up much more enjoyable. But there were some good locations and I personally got a kick out of all of the travel wackiness in the first handful of episodes."^[17] Michael Hewitt of the Orange County Register called it "one of its least-ambitious seasons".^[18] In 2016, this season was ranked 15th out of the first 27 seasons by the Rob Has a Podcast Amazing Race correspondents.^[19] Kareem Gantt of Screen Rant wrote that "Season 23 had a great cast and went to some truly stunning places in countries such as Chile and Indonesia. Season 23 proved that you can't judge a season just by its cover."^[20] In 2023, Rhenn Taguiam of Game Rant ranked this season as the twelfth-best season.^[21] In 2024, Taguiam's ranking was updated with this season ranked 15th out of 36.^[22]
