According to the cast and crew, 'Citation' rose to the sixth-most popular film on Netflix shortly after its release, and was most-watched on Netflix in Nigeria.

'Digital Spy's Nelson C.J. wrote that the subject matter of 'Citation' was important to discuss, and treated with an "objective and sufficiently informed" perspective within the film. C.J. praised the cinematography, but found that the dialogue could have been improved and the main character given more depth. Tambay Obenson of 'IndieWire' praised the film as an "unflinching wakeup call that extends well beyond Nigeria's borders". The movie won the best international film awards at the national film awards.
