In a review for The New York Times, critic Thomas M. Pryor remarked that Two-Fisted was antiquated in its humor but praised Tracy's lead performance.
Variety wrote that the film would make "a fairly good supporting feature." It commented that it didn't succeed in its dramatic or romantic scenes and noted, "Its deficiency in the romantic aspects can be overlooked in favor of some of the laughter the picture throws off."
In their December, 1935 edition, Modern Screen gave the film a three-star review saying "This is your picture if you like ‘em with a punch." Gail Patrick was described as "an attractive feminine foil" to Lee Tracy and Roscoe Karns, and concluded that "the cast is competent and though the plot has its weak moments, you’ll be too helpless from laughing to care."
