On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a low audience score, with critiques pointing out the uninspired script and pacing issues. "The performances lack depth, which detracts from the core intentions of the plot," commented one film blog. However, there are also some who appreciate its unique angle on the vampire genre. A reviewer stated, 'Though flawed, it still dives headfirst into camp horror, making it a guilty pleasure for genre enthusiasts.' Overall, while 'Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood' may not satisfy everyone, its cult potential cannot be overlooked, attracting a specific audience drawn to its intriguing premise and bombastic presentation.
