Some critics from local Hungarian film circles praised the performances, particularly that of Attila Kaszás, noting his ability to convey emotional depth.

Overall, "56 Drops of Blood" appeals mainly to viewers interested in arthouse European cinema but may challenge those expecting a conventional plot or upbeat storytelling.
