Helena Lindblad of
Dagens Nyheter gave the film three out of five stars, writing that, at times, the film veered "unnecessarily close" to the source material, becoming "burdensome" and "rigid." She commended Ken Are Bongo's cinematography, writing that the film had an "appealing setting for a story that, albeit bluntly, articulates the magnificence of reindeer herding and how strongly it – although, of course, far from covering everyone – characterizes Sámi culture and identity." Lars Böhlin of
Västerbottens-Kuriren also gave the film three out of five stars, calling it "excellent" and commending its set design and cinematography. Karolina Fjellborg of
Aftonbladet wrote, "
Stolen convinces and touches, and is extremely beautiful to look at, although some aspects of the story feel underdeveloped." ==References==
