Reception Olivia Popp of Cineuropa assessed that "although the film is arguably too long, Projecto Global grows more compelling as it goes on".
Lee Marshall of ScreenDaily considered the "tasty, sexy headlong gallop" to be as "self-aware as One Battle After Another in the way it draws cinematic energy from the blend of romance, jeopardy, frustration, treachery and buffoonery that is inherent in the life of a clandestine operative".
