In a review of the "Season Of The Witch" home video, "The A.V. Club" compared the film to Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" stating that the film "looks significantly less impressive [...] Where "Night Of The Living Dead" sandwiched some undistinguished, talky bits featuring actors of widely varying skill between the zombie horror, "Season Of The Witch" is nearly all undistinguished talky bits featuring actors of widely varying skill. Frankly, it’s kind of a slog." "Slant Magazine" gave the film a four out of five star rating, calling the film Romero's "Belle du Jour". Online film database Allmovie gave a mixed review for the film noting poor production quality, "wildly uneven acting", and that the film is "burdened both by its directness and its talkiness". The review went on to note that "this is as effective a film as the director has made, in many respects years ahead of its time, assuming a position more extreme than "The Stepford Wives" or even, for the most part, "Thelma and Louise"." "TV Guide" gave the film one star out of four, referring to the film as "One of the most problematic entries in George Romero's filmography", noting cheap production and poor acting.
