Victor Olatoye of Nollywood Critics commended the music and dance choreography, but describes the screenplay as "average", commenting: "I’ll Take my Chances melded fantastical sequences with quasi-vérité visuals, brisk editing and urban grime. It also addressed issues like career choices, local beliefs, politics, falling in love and Parenting, while celebrating the glorious dancing images of youth in full creative flower". He gave 3 out of 5 stars and concluded: "I’ll Take My Chances ends up been decidedly average drama but with decent dance numbers". Wilfred Okiche of YNaija believes that the fault in the film lies within in its conception through execution, commenting: "Desmond Elliot is at the helm and while his direction is smooth and exciting at some points, the clunky screenplay defeats him. It moves at a leaden pace, does not quite know what to do with itself and becomes stuck in limbo between the both genres it attempts to conquer". While he praised visuals of the film which aptly captures the beautiful scenery of Akwa Ibom, he talked down on Ini Edo's performance and concluded: "Like all movies from the Royal Arts Academy stable, an unnecessary and untidy sub-plot is introduced and it leads to an ending that is clumsily tied together. As it stands now, brilliant young filmmakers are stepping up big time and even the old ones are upping their game and reinventing themselves. For the continued relevance of Royal Arts Academy, they need to do a lot more than I'll Take My Chances. We deserve better than this – and so do they".
