The series has a score of 40 on Metacritic.[5] In his review forThe Guardian, Stuart Heritage gave the series 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Polo looks destined to fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light. And rightly so. It's clattering and niche, and feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on screens in the background of episodes ofSuccession."[6] Writing forThe Telegraph, Ed Power also gave the series 2 out of 5 stars and stated, "There's lots of blood, sweat, and tears in the series – but not enough of the Sussexes to make this anything other than a dull indulgence about a rich person's pursuit."[7] Giving a similar rating to the series in his review forThe Times, James Jackson argued "it's simply impossible to relate in the same way to the sleek, tanned, sports car-driving players ofPolo, despite the lurking theme of demanding fathers. Still, if you were, say, Prince Harry, it would no doubt be the most compelling thing on TV."[8]
The show garnered 500,000 views in the first half of 2025, ranking 3436 by the end of June among all of Netflix's productions.[9]
