Evil Andy of Dread Central gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5, and writing that while the film "is certainly long and painful as intended", it "is also side-splittingly funny and that the grind is thoroughly entertaining."[4] Shelagh Rowan-Legg of ScreenAnarchy wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "the entire composition of the film is well-conceived and deliberate in appearance and execution."[5] The Montreal Gazette wrote that "Even though the situation that John Glass finds himself in is absurd in many ways, it also seems all too plausible, based on past and present experience."[6]

The film received a negative review in HorrorNews.net.[7]
