The film was [[Profit (accounting)|profitable]] for RKO, earning a profit of $260,000.<ref name="rko"/> However, Amos 'n' Andy had no future with the studio, and were branded a freak attraction good for one film only. RKO had examined ticket-sale patterns, and determined that audiences had only been curious about seeing their two radio favorites. Once seen, their novelty and appeal were gone.<ref name=RKO>{{cite book | title=The RKO Story | last1=Jewell | first1=Richard B. | last2=Harbin | first2=Vernon | publisher=Arlington House | year=1982 | place=New York | page=31 |isbn=0-517-546566}}</ref>

''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' called it "the best picture for children ever put on the screen".<ref name=AFI /> [[Mordaunt Hall]], film critic for ''[[The New York Times]]'', gave the film a lackluster review, praising the efforts of Gosden and Correll, while not being as kind to the rest of the cast.<ref name=nyt>{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9903EFD61E3FE432A25752C0A9679D946194D6CF | work=[[The New York Times]] | last=Hall | first=Mordaunt | title=Check and Double Check: Amos 'N' Andy Open Mayfair Theatre | date=November 1, 1930 | accessdate=August 5, 2014 | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140805173251/http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9903EFD61E3FE432A25752C0A9679D946194D6CF | archivedate=August 5, 2014}}</ref> Gosden and Correll were themselves ashamed of the film, with Gosden calling it "just about the worst movie ever," but it didn't hurt their continued popularity on radio.

RKO did release two short subjects related to the ''Amos 'n' Andy'' franchise. These were [[animation|animated]] cartoons produced by [[The Van Beuren Corporation]] in 1934: ''[[The Rasslin' Match]]'' and ''[[The Lion Tamer]]''. Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll recorded their own dialect voices for the soundtracks. However, the projected series ended after only the two films. Gosden and Correll made one more motion-picture appearance (as guest stars in ''[[The Big Broadcast of 1936]]''), but there were no further attempts at live-action portrayals of Amos 'n' Andy until the ''Amos 'n' Andy'' television show (1951–1953), although the radio show continued to be a top-rated program throughout the 1930s and 1940s.<ref name=AFI /><ref name=TCM />
