Bez Wstydu received mixed, yet generally interested reviews from critics. Many praised the film for its nuanced approach to a sensitive topic and its stylistic cinematography. Critics noted that while the secondary storylines (neo-Nazis, Romany community) were sometimes uneven, the core story of the brother and sister was consistently compelling.

Reviewers for film.wp.pl offered a more balanced critique, calling the film intriguing but not without its "moralizing tricks" while still praising the actors' performances and the film's ambition.
