Critical reception

Exterminate All the Brutes received positive reviews from the critics. It holds an 84% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 reviews, with a weighted average of 8.25/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "While Exterminate All the Brutes perhaps packs a little too much into its limited runtime, it remains a powerful, necessary examination of the horrors of historical colonialism and its lingering impact on the world today." On Metacritic, the series holds a rating of 83 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

Cinéaste Magazine reviewed the series and praised its depiction of colonialism as necessary and found the inclusion of Peck's personal life inspired but criticized other areas, chiefly in the use of other media. The magazine criticized Peck's frequent quoting of written text of the books the series adapt while passing it off as his own observations, historical inaccuracies derived from the works the series is based on, and a montage using clips from the Holocaust documentary Shoah, which deliberately avoided using archival footage of the camps and violent reenactments for narrative purposes, mixed with images of African-American slavery and Drone strikes, which they referred to as exploitative.
