Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave the film a positive review and wrote that it “transcends its clichés by being true to its characters and artistic in its approach.”
Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review and wrote, “Could have used more topspin, but a winning round nonetheless.”
Therese Lacson of Collider graded the film a C and wrote, “The Long Game isn’t awful, it’s perfectly serviceable as a sports flick about an inspiring all-American team, but that’s all that it is: it’s fine. There’s little to write home about and it feels like a case of unfulfilled potential.”
