Variety's Owen Gleiberman described The Unspoken as a blending of "standard glossy horror tropes executed with scary ineptitude." Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times similarly characterized the film as derivative, writing, "some of the frights work reasonably well; and Ms. Ferland is convincing. But there aren't enough surprises or innovations to make this one stand out in the sea of horror fare that comes along this time of year." Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of one out of four stars, writing: "The Unspoken makes apparent that it is possible to have an eye for a genre, but no vision."
Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as being hampered by an "uneven script, which vacillates between horror and thriller, although it's not particularly exemplary of either genre", and wrote that the film "[falls] back on jump scares, assaultive music cues and poltergeist-driven SFX". The Los Angeles Times' Noel Murray wrote that the film "has so much plot that it really shouldn't need to rely as much as it does on big, loud sounds", concluding, "This movie's about as scary as a jackhammer."
