Andrea G. Bermejo, film reviewer for the Spanish newspaper 'El Mundo', gave the film three out of five stars, praising the performances of Alfonso Herrera and Hannah Murray. 'The Hollywood Reporter''s Jonathan Holland wrote that Chavarrias' script covered the historical information "clearly and simply, and without over-falsifying the historical events," but the main character, Ramon Mercader, was "less interesting and a far cry from Alain Delons chilling depiction in Joseph Loseys flawed 'The Assassination of Trotsky."' The 'World Socialist Web Site''s David Walsh, on the other hand, compared The Chosen favorably to Losey's "cold, unpleasant work," and praised Chavarrias' historical research and the script's characterization of Mercader.
