James Marsh of South China Morning Post gave GG Precinct 2/5 stars, critiquing that while the series attempts to blend grit and comedy with its misfit cop squad investigating a serial killer, the show ultimately falls short due to underdeveloped character dynamics and relationships, resulting in a lightweight and unresolved final product.{{Cite web |url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3275883/netflix-drama-gg-precinct-review-greg-hsu-gingle-wang-play-goofball-cops-crime-comedy |title=Netflix drama GG Precinct review: Greg Hsu, Gingle Wang play goofball cops in crime comedy |date=26 August 2024 |website=South China Morning Post |last=Marsh |first=James |access-date=26 August 2024}} Joel Keller of Decider also noted that the humor in the series came across as forced and unfunny, but praised the series' Brooklyn Nine-Nine-esque story arc and the interesting premise of a serial killer committing crimes based on Chinese idioms, which compensated for the show's comedic deficiencies with its overall entertainment value.{{Cite web |url=https://decider.com/2024/08/23/gg-precinct-netflix-review/ |title=Stream It Or Skip It: ‘GG Precinct’ On Netflix, A Comedic Taiwanese Cop Show Where The Detectives Investigate Idiom-Related Murders |date=23 August 2024 |website=Decider |last=Keller |first=Joel |access-date=26 August 2024 |archive-date=24 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240824111838/https://decider.com/2024/08/23/gg-precinct-netflix-review/ |url-status=live }}

Chien Ying-jou, writing for United Daily News, considered the series a successful spinoff to the film Marry My Dead Body (2022), with lead actor Greg Hsu delivering a more relaxed and comedic performance compared to the film version, and the overall ensemble cast delivering an amusing and chaotic police procedural that manages to blend social commentary with its slapstick humor.{{Cite web |url=https://500times.udn.com/wtimes/story/120840/8181647 |title=正港分局／雀雀劇評：台劇豪華陣容同樂會 木曜4超玩認真演 |date=24 August 2024 |website=United Daily News |last=Chien |first=Ying-jou |access-date=26 August 2024 |language=zh}} Berton Hsu, writing for The News Lens, highlighted the series' ambitious effort to match Calendar Studios' previous commercial successes by blending elements of American sitcoms with Japanese-style humor, showcasing a unique and avant-garde approach that may surprise fans of the prequel Marry My Dead Body, though the diverse comedic styles and character portrayals could elicit mixed reactions from audiences.{{Cite web |url=https://www.thenewslens.com/column/streaming/241558 |title=褒貶不一的《正港分局》真的失敗了嗎？該怎麼定義這前所未見的台劇試驗？ |date=10 September 2024 |website=The News Lens |last=Hsu |first=Berton |access-date=18 October 2024 |language=zh}}
