Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "After taking a few dramatic roles in films like Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds and the recently released Alex Cross, director and star Tyler Perry figured it would be best to throw in a little more Madea into his filmography. After all she is his highest money maker and easily the best thing to come from his odd mind. Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection plants itself firmly in the Madea canon as another laughable entry in a mostly harmless little series. It’s not going to win Perry any new fans, but it should satisfy the one’s he’s already managed to rustle up."
