Ouanga received mixed reviews from critics upon its release in 1935. While some praised the film's eerie atmosphere and captivating performances, others criticized its stereotypical portrayal of voodoo practices. Variety noted, 'Ouanga successfully creates a sense of dread and mystery, with Fredi Washington delivering a standout performance.' The New York Times, however, criticized the film for perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Caribbean culture.
