Guy Lodge of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' was extremely positive, writing, "Part dreamy millennial picaresque, part distorted tapestry of Americana and part exquisitely illustrated iTunes musical, "Honey" daringly commits only to the loosest of narratives across its luxurious 162-minute running time. Yet it's constantly, engrossingly active, spinning and sparking and exploding in cycles like a Fourth of July Catherine wheel."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://variety.com/2016/film/reviews/american-honey-review-shia-labeouf-1201774708/|title=Cannes Film Review: 'American Honey'|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|first=Guy|last=Lodge|date=14 May 2016|access-date=17 May 2016}}</ref> Eric Kohn of [[Indiewire]] was enthusiastic, writing that ''American Honey'' "proves Andrea Arnold is one of the best working filmmakers and finds a breakout star in Sasha Lane," and that "It's the closest thing to a magnum opus in Arnold's blossoming career."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.indiewire.com/article/cannes-2016-american-honey-review-shia-labeouf-andrea-arnold-sasha-lane|title=Cannes Review: 'American Honey' Proves Andrea Arnold is One of the Best Working Filmmakers and Finds a Breakout Star in Sasha Lane|work=Indiewire|first=Eric|last=Kohn|date=14 May 2016|access-date=17 May 2016}}</ref> David Rooney of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' called the film "A road movie without a map that nonetheless arrives at a worthwhile destination," and wrote, "The film works best as a poignant character study, observing Star as she settles into her independence and figures out who she wants to be, framed by a vast physical landscape that stretches socioeconomically from privileged wealth to squalid poverty. There's a wonderful intimacy in the way Arnold examines young women in her films."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/american-honey-cannes-review-894128|title='American Honey': Cannes Review|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|first=David|last=Rooney|date=14 May 2016|access-date=14 May 2016}}</ref>
Critics praised the film's raw and authentic portrayal of youth culture in America, as well as its standout performances from newcomer Sasha Lane<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasha_Lane {{bare URL inline|date=June 2023}}</ref> and LaBeouf.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_LaBeouf {{bare URL inline|date=June 2023}}</ref> The film's gritty cinematography, use of music, and themes of freedom, rebellion, and capitalism were also highlighted.
However, some viewers found the film's length (over two and a half hours) and episodic structure to be a bit meandering, and its depiction of poverty and exploitation to be overly bleak. Nonetheless, American Honey remains a highly regarded work of contemporary independent cinema.
