Matt Webb Mitovich gave it a B+ in his AV Club review. „Come for the Mackie-versus-Dornan dynamic – they share more scenes than you’d expect – and stay for the entertaining string of twists,” he wrote. Diana Keng of TV Fanatic noted, „It’s not just a bank heist. 12 12 12 is a Heist with a capital H. Being thrown into the first hour of execution means paying attention, because there are MANY moving pieces, and if you blink, you’ll miss something important.”
