Critical reception of Yatsuhakamura has been mixed to positive. On IMDb, the film holds a moderate rating around 6.2/10, with users appreciating its faithful adaptation of the original novel and compelling narrative but noting that pacing can feel slow at times. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated critic score for the film, reflecting its more niche international exposure. However, viewers familiar with Japanese mystery genres commend Hidetaka Yoshioka’s performance as Detective Kindaichi, highlighting his ability to convey nuanced suspense and intellectual curiosity. Some critics praise the film's atmospheric cinematography and intricate plot construction, describing it as "a captivating homage to classic detective tales." Conversely, a few reviews point out that the dense narrative and numerous characters may be overwhelming for audiences unfamiliar with the source material.

Overall, it is considered a well-crafted mystery that appeals primarily to aficionados of Japanese literature-based cinema and period detective stories.
