Shadow garnered favorable reviews from American critics, enjoying a 95 percent certified fresh rating to date on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with 40 reviews counted.

The film was selected by The New York Times as last week Critic's Pick.

"After the limp 2017 film The Great Wall, the director Zhang Yimou was clearly looking to enact a return-to-form. With Shadow, Zhang has done more than that: He's created a martial-arts movie landmark, as strong in its performances as it is spectacularly novel in its violence," wrote film critic Glenn Kenny on The New York Times website.
