Reception Film Threat found that "Still Human is a political documentary that backs no particular position or party stance. The right and left created the problems it spotlights, and both have a vested interest in keeping us citizens off-balance and at each other’s throats" while another review judged that "This movie is not for people just realizing that people worldwide are suffering. This is the film for the person who has seen all those gutwrenching displays of poverty and wants to find more of a solution."
