The consensus on the site reads: "Trigger Warning sure packs a punch when doling out clichés and dialing up the snooze fest." Metacritic gave the film a score of 37 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.

  • Benjamin Lee of The Guardian wrote, "It’s not quite enough to push the film into genuinely smart or noteworthy territory, but it adds some punchy election year anger to Alba's inevitable and involving revenge mission."
  • Jesse Hassenger of IGN commented, "Trigger Warning mashes together three different types of pulpy thrillers, but it sometimes feels as if the Jessica Alba vehicle isn’t bothering to actually take the best of what it’s ripping off."
  • Brian Lowry of CNN noted, "Trigger Warning might not be packing anything unexpected in the chamber, but for those who come to it with the proper mind-set, the movie doesn’t wind up firing blanks either."
