Reception David Stratton wrote in Variety:
Phillip Adams wrote The Weekend Australian: "its portrait of a bloke whose refusal to surrender was, and remains, astonishing." Philippa Hawker of The Age wrote "The Diplomat has made the most of its timeliness: it's an engrossing, powerful document of a subject, a process and an extraordinary political turn of events."
