[[Roger Ebert]] gave it four stars, praising it as a "masterpiece", "infinitely absorbing and moving", and likely more accurate than traditional stories about [[History of immigration to the United States|immigration to the United States]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-emigrants-1973|title=The Emigrants|last=Ebert|first=Roger|author-link=Roger Ebert|date=15 January 1973|access-date=27 November 2016|website=[[RogerEbert.com]]|publisher=Ebert Digital LLC}}</ref> [[Richard Schickel]] wrote in ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' that "Jan Troell has made ''the'' masterpiece about the dream that shaped America - a dream, and an America, fast disappearing from our views".<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Schickel |first1=Richard |author-link=Richard Schickel |year=1972 |title=When America was a dream |magazine=[[Life (magazine)|Life]] |issue=October 13 |pages=28 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yFYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28| access-date=2010-01-21}}</ref> [[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' hailed the acting performances, especially from von Sydow and Ullmann, which he found to hold "a kind of spontaneous truth, in look and gesture, that does a lot to relieve the otherwise programed nobility, truth and beauty". However, Canby criticized Troell for excessive views of "sunlight-reflected-in-water that becomes just one too many, a thing of movie decoration".<ref name="Canby"/> In ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'', [[Judith Crist]] praised the film as "exquisite",{{sfn|Crist|1972|p=86}} and wrote that the depiction of history "throbs with flesh and blood".{{sfn|Crist|1972|p=87}} In ''[[5001 Nights at the Movies]]'', [[Pauline Kael]] declared the film is "A bursting, resonant work".{{sfn|Kael|2011|p=216}}

In his ''2015 Movie Guide'', [[Leonard Maltin]] gave the film three stars, calling it "Solid if rambling".{{sfn|Maltin|2014}} [[Dave Kehr]] recalled it as overrated, calling it "Uncommitted, tedious, and often dishonest".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-emigrants/Film?oid=1065988 |title=The Emigrants |last=Kehr |first=Dave |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[Chicago Reader]]|date=8 February 1985 }}</ref> In 2016, the Swedish journal ''[[Sydsvenskan]]'' recalled ''The Emigrants'' as a classic.<ref name="Mälarstedt"/>

Immigration historian Roger Daniels has called the film "outstanding," as well as "arguably the finest social history in a commercial movie."<ref>{{Cite book |title=Coming to America: A History of Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life |last=Daniels |first=Roger |publisher=[[Harper Perennial]] |year=2002 |isbn=0-06-050577-X |edition=2nd |location=New York, NY |pages=167 |url=https://archive.org/details/comingtoamericah0000dani_02ed/page/166/mode/2up?q=film}}</ref>
