Writing for Decider, John Serba gave season 1 a moderately positive review, stating: "It has a generic title and premise, but Undercover has a smidgen of a Euro-backwoods Justified vibe, some subtle comedy and just enough eccentricity in its tone and characters to make it interesting." Ready Steady Cuts Daniel Hart reviewed the second and third seasons, giving both 4 out of 5 stars. He writes about season 2: "Round two of Undercover works. It has the right balance of chemistry between the characters that make an addictive crime thriller." And about season 3: "This Netflix series has made a tense viewing again, standing firm as a formidable dark horse."
In May 2021, Netflix released Ferry, a film prequel to the series and, in 2023, Ferry: The Series, an eight-part further prequel. In December 2024, movie Ferry 2 was published.
