Never Tell Me Never won its time slot in the ratings, beating out French Kiss, Our Mutual Friend and Under Siege 2.[4]

Andrew L. Urban of Urban Cinefile wrote " I can't say how accurate the details are, nor how well the film captures the essence of the characters, but seen as a stand alone drama it is effective in every department."[5] The Sun-Herald's Rachel Browne gave it 5 stars finishing "This telemovie has strong family appeal with laughter, tears, romance and aerobatic stunts."[6]
