[38] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 46 out of 100 based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [39]

Kayleigh Donaldson of TheWrap said the series is a nostalgic throwback to action-adventure TV with a familiar but entertaining tone. They thought the show effectively captured the lighthearted spirit of the original films, despite the absence of Nicolas Cage. Donaldson praised Lisette Olivera’s performance as Jess and highlighted Catherine Zeta-Jones’ stylish portrayal of a villain, saying it brought energy to an otherwise well-worn plot. While they stated that the series doesn’t break new ground, Donaldson appreciated its engaging puzzles and the subtle exploration of historical themes like colonialism. [40] David Cote of The A.V. Club gave Edge of History a B– rating. They remarked that while the series might feel nostalgic and familiar, the character of Jess Valenzuela is a welcome addition. Cote noted that the show’s approach is more kid-friendly compared to the original films and appreciated the subtle shift in focus from the Freemasons to themes of colonialism and resistance. However, they found the series to be somewhat slow-paced and criticized its sometimes grating youth-oriented dialogue. Despite these issues, Cote praised the engaging puzzles and the solid performances, particularly from Olivera and Catherine Zeta-Jones. [41]

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian rated the series three ouf of five stars, describing it as a nostalgic nod to 80s and 90s entertainment. They highlighted the show for its fun, action-packed adventure reminiscent of Indiana Jones and The Mummy . Mangan appreciated the new protagonist, Jess Valenzuela, and the engaging mix of puzzles and relic-hunting, even without Nicolas Cage. While Mangan acknowledged the series' predictable plot and some lackluster dialogue, they found it enjoyable and a good example of Bruckheimer’s entertaining escapism. [42] Polly Conway of Common Sense Media rated Edge of History three out of five stars. They praised Jess Valenzuela as a quick-minded and compassionate role model and noted the positive themes of teamwork and ethical decision-making, even when bending the rules. Conway pointed out that the series offers opportunities for family discussions on topics such as the challenges faced by undocumented individuals and the importance of perseverance and teamwork. They described the show as a "fun, light treasure-hunting series with adventure and violence." [43]
