Hall looks a little like the real Nixon; he could be a cousin, and he sounds a little like him. That's close enough. This is not an impersonation, it's a performance."{{cite web |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/secret-honor-1984 |title=Secret Honor movie review |website=Rogerebert.com |accessdate=February 21, 2021}} Vincent Canby of The New York Times also praised Hall's "immense performance, which is as astonishing and risky ― for the chances the actor takes and survives ― as that of the Oscar-winning F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus."{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/07/movies/film-nixon-tale-secret-hnor.html |title=FILM: NIXON TALE, 'SECRET HNOR' |website=The New York Times |date=June 7, 1985 |accessdate=February 21, 2021 |last1=Canby |first1=Vincent}}

For the film, Hall played a senior gambler who mentors a homeless man (John C. Reilly). Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said about Hall, "Here is another great performance.
