TV Guide gave 'Going Under' 2 stars out of 5 stars. In Hal Erickson's book 'Military Comedy Films: A Critical Survey and Filmography of Hollywood Releases Since 1918', he writes: "Unlike 'A Man Called Sarge', 'Going Under' actually indicates that some thought and money went into its preparation. While the production values are not lavish, they are at least up to 1990s theatrical feature standards."
