The film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences as well as many racing fans, with praise for its screenplay, story, direction, the performances of Calle and Delevingne, action sequences, cinematography, Hans Zimmer's musical score, driving scenes, and emotional weight. A sequel entitled Horizon: Rise of the Champions was released one year later.
