Critics praised Jean-Paul Belmondo's charismatic performance, noting that his presence brought charm and depth to the film.

However, others felt the narrative was somewhat predictable and lacked originality in its execution. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic do not have aggregated scores for this film, reflecting its limited international release and niche audience. Film review sites often mention that while the movie is enjoyable for fans of French cinema and Belmondo, it might not appeal broadly due to pacing issues and a conventional plot. Overall, "Half a Chance" is considered a modestly entertaining film with memorable performances but does not stand out as a standout classic.
