Clint Worthington of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "At the ripe age of ninety, Shatner remains as alive as ever—his eyes wild with curiosity and humor, his honeyed voice barely worn down by years of voiceover and soliloquy. But he remains deeply aware of his own numbered days, which makes You Can Call Me Bill feel like something of a self-administered cinematic eulogy. He's clearly grappling with the finality and impermanence of it all, whether here or in live events that see him entertaining audiences with poetic thoughts on the end of his life or the vastness of the universe."[2]
