As with most PrimePlay originals, Stranger was marketed toward a mature audience looking for content that bridges the gap between a murder mystery and adult romance. It garnered attention for its intriguing trailer and the chemistry between the leads. While the plot follows a somewhat formulaic structure common to the genre, the execution of the suspense elements was received well by the platform's subscriber base.

Audience reactions on social media trended around shared paranoia. One viral tweet read: “Had to unplug my Alexa after episode 3 of #StrangerPrimePlay. Nope. Absolutely not.” Another viewer commented: “This is why I keep all my passwords on paper. Stranger (2023) is a public service announcement disguised as a thriller.”
