- 100Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekVillage VoiceStephanie ZacharekBrash and sweet, We Are the Best! captures perfectly the aimlessness of adolescence, the waiting to become something that's so often intertwined with the desire to make something, to leave your mark on the world in some small way.
- 100Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfThe most gratifying thing about the film is feeling Moodysson’s warmth return to him.
- 90The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyFunny and frank in its observations, the film is a delightful snapshot of female friendship at that age, from the giddy highs to the melancholy funks, from the sustaining bonds to the jealousies and stinging betrayals.
- 80Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonTime Out LondonTom HuddlestonWe Are the Best! is a joyous celebration of youth, friendship and rebellion, and if there’s a nagging note of regret and bitterness it never manages to undermine the overwhelmingly compassionate tone.
- 80EmpireDamon WiseEmpireDamon WiseA very welcome return from Moodysson. The music is Wyld Stallions-grade, but the charm and spirit of the three girls will have you moshing in your seat.
- 75Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEntertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyAs a coming-of-age story, the film is a bit uneventful. But the girls’ rebellious, fist-in-the-air spirit and the warmth of their friendship are undeniable.

- 75Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardLukas Moodysson's film allows its trio of girls to express themselves through gender, certainly, but not undermine their desire to be heard as artists first.
- 70The DissolveNoel MurrayThe DissolveNoel MurrayAs vibrant and ingratiating as We Are The Best! is, the movie lacks the more satisfying fullness of Moodysson’s Together and Lilya 4-Ever.
