the film received mixed reviews. on review aggregator website rotten tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 41% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 5/10. vincent canby of "the new york times" wrote, "perhaps my resistance has given out but 'damien—omen ii,' though it's as foolish as the first film, is rather more fun to watch and sometimes very stylish-looking." "variety" wrote, "damien is obviously wearing out his welcome, but presold interest and a couple of gruesome, ghastly death scenes should shore up business for the summer." gene siskel of the "chicago tribune" found it inferior to the original because "there's nothing particularly surprising or horrifying about a teen-ager in league with the devil. also, the commotion the kid inspires this time is not particularly frightening." gary arnold of "the washington post" wrote, "far from advancing the unsavory premise of the first film, this one doggedly retraces its steps. the result is an inferior copy rather than a narrative continuation." charles champlin of the "los angeles times" wrote, "for all its slavish copying of the original, 'damien — omen ii' plays differently. it's a hoot instead of a scream. its deaths are frequent and exceedingly graphic, but you wait for them as for the acts on a variety bill. the connective tissue is frailer this time, and there is almost no accumulation of suspense." richard combs of "the monthly film bulletin" wrote, "the main trouble with the evil one as a protagonist is that his opposition never looks very convincing—and like its predecessor, "omen ii" is based on a rather lame structure in which successive individuals discover something amiss about damien and then meet an inexorably bloody end."
