A reviewer for the AV Club wrote: "The script can sometimes lean too much on mythological and religious exposition... but the actors have such good chemistry that their various pairings work, and the smartly choreographed fight scenes are well-placed."
The writer also likened the show to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars.
Nicole Drum from ComicBook.com gave the review 3 out of 5, and wrote: "Warrior Nun is a truly wild journey that manages to ask some tough questions while equally embracing its silliness, its action, and the absolute absurdity of it all. The show may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is one hell of a fun ride."
When it was cancelled, many fans slammed the decision, particularly as the show was female-led and featured many LGBTQ characters.
