The site's consensus states: "Directed with sly refinement by Robert Redford and given pizazz by a slew of superb performances, ''Quiz Show'' intelligently interrogates the erosion of public standards without settling on tidy answers."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/quiz_show/?name_order=asc |title=Quiz Show, Rotten Tomatoes |publisher=Rottentomatoes.com |access-date=2024-03-01}}</ref>

Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] awarded the film three and a half stars out of four, calling the screenplay "smart, subtle and ruthless."<ref>Roger Ebert. [http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/quiz-show-1994 "Quiz Show"]. September 16, 1994.</ref> Web critic [[James Berardinelli]] praised the "superb performances by Fiennes" and wrote that "John Turturro is exceptional as the uncharismatic Herbie Stempel."<ref>James Berardinelli. [http://preview.reelviews.net/movies/q/quiz.html "Quiz Show"]. ReelViews.</ref> Writing for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', [[Owen Gleiberman]] highlighted the supporting performance of Paul Scofield as Mark Van Doren, stating that "it's in the relationship between the two Van Dorens that ''Quiz Show'' finds its soul."<ref>Owen Gleiberman. [http://www.ew.com/article/1994/09/16/quiz-show "Quiz Show"], ''Entertainment Weekly.''</ref> [[Kenneth Turan]] called Scofield's performance his best since ''[[A Man for All Seasons (1966 film)|A Man for All Seasons]]'' (1966) and suggested that the film "would have been a very different experience" without Fiennes' "ability to project the pain behind a well-mannered facade, to turn intellectual and emotional agony into a real and living thing",<ref name="LATimes"/> but also criticized Turturro's and Morrow's exaggerated performances.<ref name="LATimes"/>

Charles Van Doren said: "I understand that movies need to compress and conflate, but what bothered me most was the epilogue stating that I never taught again. I didn't stop teaching, although it was a long time before I taught again in a college. I did enjoy John Turturro's version of Stempel. And I couldn't help but laugh when Stempel referred to me in the film as 'Charles Van Fucking Moron.'"<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/07/28/all-the-answers |title=All the Answers |date=July 28, 2008|magazine=[[The New Yorker]]|last=Van Doren|first=Charles|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210608153113/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/07/28/all-the-answers|archive-date=June 8, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
