Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times called it "the kind of story that’s been told many times in literary spy novels" but that it was "a magnificent showcase for Kingsley, who's always at his best when his characters look like they know something we don't."[2] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Tinker tailor soldier snooze."[3]
