Flickering Myth gave the film two stars, stating that it "will probably prove to be quite popular with those into their British crime movies as it looks pretty good with some stunning wide shots of London in various different lights, and for Danny Dyer it’s something of a step up from his usual performance and will hopefully be seen as a defining moment for him, but otherwise Assassin is a little bit too underwhelming in the areas where it should have been stronger."^[4] Movie Talk panned Assassin, writing "Danny Dyer's hard man whizzes to and from his assignments on a high-powered motorbike, but this crashingly dull low-budget British crime thriller couldn't be more pedestrian."^[5] Charlie Lyne of The Guardian wrote, "Dyer doesn’t so much go through the motions in the role as plead with the audience to save him the bother and recall the motions from last time."^[6] Matt Glasby of Total Film rated it 3/5 and wrote that although it is not enough to rehabilitate Dyer's reputation, "anyone looking for po-faced, paunch-free action could do much worse".^[7]
