TVision, which uses its TVision Power Score to evaluate CTV programming performance by factoring in viewership and engagement across over 1,000 apps and incorporating four key metrics—viewer attention time, total program time available for the season, program reach, and app reach—calculated that Saint X was the sixteenth most-streamed show from May 1–7. It later moved to nineteenth place from May 8–14.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 19% approval rating with an average rating of 4.9/10, based on 16 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "A tedious crawl to an unsatisfying destination, Saint X only marks time instead of hitting the spot." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 51 out of 100 based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."
