Reviews of The United States vs. Billie Holiday are mixed. Film critics have found the film to be uneven, but have praised Andra Day's performance almost without exception. Here is a summary of those reviews:

A.O. Scott, The New York Times: "America vs. Billie Holiday," however, fails to rescue its heroine from her own mess.

Eric Eisenberg, CinemaBlend: There are many places in The United States vs. Billie Holiday where it feels like it has no idea what it is doing, but what never loses its conviction is Andra Day s performance. This is her first leading role, but you wouldn't know it from what you see on the screen.

Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly "And at the center of it all is the ever-ambitious and flamboyant Day: her resemblance to the real Holliday is almost circumstantial, but she evokes Billy's blues not just from her own throat but from deep within her soul. She evokes it. [19] [20] David Rooney (The Hollywood Reporter): "Day is mesmerizing even when Lee Daniels' unwieldy bio-drama flits all over the place with stylistic inconsistencies and narrative dysfunction, settling into episodic electricity without a solid connecting thread. Tough yet vulnerable, his raw performance of intense rage is the central driving force.
