On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 116 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "A sly caper carried off with director Steven Soderbergh's characteristic panache, The Christophers is a superb two-hander featuring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel at their very best." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 80 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
For Deadline, reviewer Damon Wise writes that because it's a Soderbergh film, one would expect a twist, but that "the twist here is that there isn't really a twist" and goes on to call it an "unusually emotional film for Soderbergh".
