Veronica Clare has received mixed critical feedback. David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun praised it as the network's only successful scripted program. Reviewing the first episode, he described the series as having a "contemporary sensibility with plenty of retro-classic-P.I. atmosphere". The Washington Post'''s Patricia Brennan called the show a stylish one-hour mystery series. Ginny Holbert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the show's style and its actors' performances.

Other critics were more negative. Giving the series a C-, David Hiltbrand of People was critical of the storylines' believability, describing the show's style as "murky and contrived". He also criticized Robinson's performance for its "vacuity". Howard Rosenberg initially praised the pilot as an indication of a "stylishly mounted, Chandleresque-style series", but panned subsequent episodes. He felt that the storylines bordered on a parody in the style of the 1991 film The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, and did not match the "subtlety and a charming playfulness" of the series' premiere. The Orlando Sentinel's Nancy Pete criticized Veronica Clare as "well-intentioned but ludicrous", and a reviewer from Variety responded negatively to the pilot's script, writing that "atmosphere goes only so far".
