Some critics also praised some of the supporting actors' performances as well as the cast performances as a whole. This was seen with Jim Emerson of the "Chicago Sun-Times" review with him writing ""Where What We Do Is Secret" succeeds is in the performances which sometimes expose a stilted, amateurish strain that's oddly in tune with the characters' D.I.Y. aesthetic." Sara Cardance of "New York" wrote "The amateur vibe suits the subject matter, and the young cast rises to the challenge." Eric Campos of Film Threat wrote that "These actors and many more make "What We Do Is Secret" an absolute blast to watch and they do an undeniably perfect job of recreating this notorious scene."
