writing for the "los angeles times", linda gross wrote: "ironically, "friday the 13th part 3" is so terrible that "friday the 13th part 1" and "friday the 13th part 2" don't seem so bad." janet maslin of "the new york times" stated that it "would be a little better than "part i" or "part ii" even without 3-d". in continuing to compare the film to its predecessors, maslin commented that "it's a little more adept at teasing the audience." richard schickel of "time" magazine wrote: "maybe all sequels should be made in 3-d... it is all so gruesome that horror turns to humor and fun comes from the appreciation of being cleverly conned by steve miner. the way the eyeball of one of jason's victims pops out of his skull and seems to sail over the audience's head is alone worth buying a ticket and putting on funny glasses." gene siskel praised the film's "impressive" 3-d effects, particularly in the opening credits, also noting its slowburn approach, as the "heavy-duty slaughter doesn't come until one hour into the film," but criticized it for "lingering over the impending deaths the young women, who are stalked by the camera so we find ourselves in the revolting position of stalking them too."
