Critics have praised the show for its realistic portrayal of the political landscape and the complex characters that drive the narrative.

Another review from HanCinema highlighted Choi Soo-jong's performance, stating, 'Choi Soo-jong delivers a compelling and nuanced performance as Jang Il-joon, bringing both charisma and vulnerability to the role, which anchors the series.'

Overall, President is appreciated for its strong performances and insightful writing, though it may be best suited for viewers with an interest in political dramas.
