Reception
Writing in Screen Hub Raelee Lancaster gave it four stars. She writes "The humour in All My Friends Are Racist comes from the series’ ability to lean into the absurd while remaining incredibly self-aware. It doesn’t take itself seriously, poking fun at both itself and its audience."{{Citation | last= Lancaster | first= Raelee | title=TV Review: All My Friends Are Racist is as absurd as it is self-aware | url= https://www.screenhub.com.au/news/reviews/tv-review-all-my-friends-are-racist-is-as-absurd-as-it-is-self-aware-1472944/ | periodical= Screen Hub | date= 10 September 2021}} Glen Humphries of the Canberra Times says "every single character who appears is a figure of fun. No one is off-limits. It's all quite outrageous - and very funny."{{Citation | last= Humphries | first= Glen | title=Great show from 'the good cop' | url= | periodical= The Canberra Times | date= 21 August 2021}}
