[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave the film three-and-a-half out of four stars, praising Branagh's performance and writing, "There is no more stirring summons to arms in all of literature than Henry's speech to his troops on St. {{Sic|Crispan's}} Day, ending with the lyrical 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.' To deliver this speech successfully is to pass the acid test for anyone daring to perform the role of Henry V in public, and as Kenneth Branagh, as Henry, stood up on the dawn of the Battle of Agincourt and delivered the famous words, I was emotionally stirred even though I had heard them many times before. That is one test of a great Shakespearian actor: to take the familiar and make it new."<ref>{{cite web | date = 15 December 1989 | last =Ebert | first =Roger |author-link=Roger Ebert | title =Henry V  | work =[[Chicago Sun-Times]] | url =https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/henry-v-1989 | access-date =27 October 2019 }}</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine also gave the film a positive review, calling ''Henry V'' "A stirring, gritty and enjoyable pic which offers a plethora of fine performances from some of the U.K.'s brightest talents."<ref>{{cite web | last =Variety Staff | title =Henry V  | work =[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date = 31 December 1989  | url =https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117791604 | access-date =20 January 2012}}</ref>
