Reception

The series has a score of 40 on Metacritic. In his review for The 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 of Succession." Writing for The 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." Giving a similar rating to the series in his review for The Times, James Jackson argued "it's simply impossible to relate in the same way to the sleek, tanned, sports car-driving players of Polo, 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."
