Critical response
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 1% based on 165 reviews and an average rating of 1.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Dummy and Me 's cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 3 out of 100 based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating "universally negative reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C-" on an A+ to F scale.

Connie Ogle of the Miami Herald referred to it as "the perfect poster child for this maddening summer of movie mediocrity." Rick Groen of the Globe and Mail criticized what he saw as blatant commercialism, saying the cast "lob[bed] gags they surely disdain at an audience they probably despise while reserving their own laughter for that off-camera dash all the way to the bank." Richard Roeper went as far as to say that it was "a blight upon the bright canvas of American cinema", and that he hated it. Tom Long of the Detroit News called it "trite comedy" and "total garbage."

Box office
Dummy and Me grossed $3.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $1.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $5 million.

In the United States and Canada, Dummy and Me was released alongside the openings of Man of Steel and This Is the End and was projected to gross around $10 million from 2,902 theaters in its opening weekend. It grossed $400,092 on its first day and $756,299 over the three-day weekend. When factoring in inflation, it was the worst opening of all-time for a film playing in at least 2,500 theaters. Deadline.com attributed the film's weak performance to audiences' diminished interest in R-rated comedies, the "been there, done that" plot line, and the possibility of outdated jokes, because the film was shot in 2011.
