Other Jews criticize the idea because it lends too much credence to Christian beliefs. A lot of other Jews think the idea of God is nuts anyway because they are atheists.

The problem does exist in the beliefs of the early history of the tribes of Judea, where polytheism can be found in reference in the Pentateuch and the Book of Psalms, likely with a close relationship to Canaanite scripture and religious beliefs.
