Critical reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 27% of 22 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.0/10. The website's consensus reads: "Unintentionally hilarious, poorly paced, and overall redundant, Agent X is a secret agent drama that should have remained secret."[14] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 43 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[15]

The New York Times said in a review of the series: "Without the jokey bravado (or high production values) of Strike Back or the charming wonkiness of Warehouse 13, the only claim Agent X has on our attention is Ms. Stone. Even that is tenuous — while her performance loosens up a bit across the first four episodes, her screen time appears to shrink."[16]

Variety wrote in their review "Possessing some of the flavor of National Treasure, Agent X takes the amusing step of investing the Vice President's office with secret constitutional powers, all for the purpose of concocting a Yankee version of James Bond. And wonder of wonders, it mostly works, at least initially, combining a sense of playfulness with bountiful action and, less successfully, a sweeping conspiracy.[17]

The Wall Street Journal called Agent X an "improbable but high-action thriller." Also saying "This light and fast-moving version of an America-in-peril espionage thriller doesn't really deal in moral ambiguity and shades of gray."[18]
