Diego Batlle of Otros Cines gave the film three out of five stars, writing, "...Phantosmia demands patience and concentration from the viewer; thus, when one immerses oneself in the universe proposed by Lav Diaz we are transported to a time, a place and some very particular and at times fascinating characters."[6]
Hector A. Gonzalez of Loud and Clear Reviews gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of five, writing that Lav Diaz's Phantosmia hypnotizes viewers in the first half only to remove them from the experience in the second with a weak, laborious structure.[7]
