Critical response
The film garnered a mostly negative reception from film critics. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film received a rating of 10%. Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Director Vivi Friedman's inability to successfully reconcile the film's duality undercuts an eclectic cast gamely committed to Mark Lisson's thematically ambitious, if scattered, script." Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine also gave a negative review, writing: "Sadly, The Family Tree squanders all [the] promise for the usual trite, bluntly written, and poorly staged testaments to love and family. Who needs that when you have a cast this game? A truly troubled family isn't, at the very least, this deadly dull." Stephen Holden of The New York Times heavily criticized the film, writing: "The only reason I can think of to watch Vivi Friedman's flat, satirical farce The Family Tree – and it's not a good enough reason – is the opportunity to play a game of spot the semi-star."
