Brett Cullum of "DVD Verdict" wrote, "For curious Dracula fans, Jess Franco's "Count Dracula" is a neat find. It's a stellar cast working under a low budget, and it comes off entertaining if not a classic. It's a B-movie treatment at best, but ... Lee comes off fiery and committed to making this Count one that will be noticed." Brian Lindsey of "Eccentric Cinema" wrote, "Upon weighing film's pros and cons, "Count Dracula" emerges a substantially flawed film. But I can still recommend it to any fan of Lee, Franco, Miranda, and even of Stoker's novel." George R. Reis of "DVD Drive-In" wrote, ""Count Dracula" is flawed in many ways, but for fans of gothic horror, it's still irresistible ... Barcelona naturally allows for some truly handsome scenery and an appropriate castle for Dracula to dwell in, and the performances of the international cast are above average."
