Dominic Wills of TalkTalk described Sin as "a kind of cross between Death Wish and 8mm." DVD Talk journalist Shannon Nutt awarded the film two stars out of five, and wrote: "Sin makes for a decent rental... The plotline is rather predictable and similar to many other cop dramas you'll find out there, but the acting of both Rhames and Oldman put Sin just a notch above other releases in the same genre." Forrest Hartman of the Reno Gazette-Journal gave the movie a "C−" score, and said: "It lacks the tension and cohesion that might have made it good. Locals may appreciate the nice Nevada backdrops, but there's not much more to recommend." Critic Dennis Schwartz also rated the film "C−", calling it a "weakly directed revenge tale" with "stilted dialogue, a tired story, schematic action scenes, a questionable moral compass and uninspired acting (even from the noted headliners)". Guardian writer Xan Brooks felt that with Sin, Oldman accepted a "barrel-scraping" role at the "low point" of his career.

Oldman admitted in a 2005 interview with Time Out that he signed onto Sin purely for money, as he had not acted in some time and had recently settled a divorce. He said of the film: "Oh God, that's possibly the worst movie ever made. I even felt sorry for the trees they cut down for the script paper... If you're a connoisseur of the terrible, you might get a twisted joy out of it."
