Michael Gingold of Rue Morgue wrote that while the film is "competently made at every level" and "deserves credit for not copping out at its conclusion, which leaves you with the kind of chill that’s too absent in what has come before", it "misses its chance to make a memorable mark on either the killer-clown or deadly-toy subgenres."

Jacob Walker of Starburst rated the film 5 stars out of 10 and wrote that while Fowler "does a decent job here, trying to develop his titular villain and make the most out of the budget and locations he has to work with", the film "sags in the middle and starts to get a little trying as the scenarios and locations fail to change."
