| AllMusic |    [5] |
John Bush of AllMusic called the album "a distinct disappointment."[5] He added, "The Curse of the Golden Vampire takes each act's trademark -- industrial breakbeats and darkside dub soundscapes, respectively -- and merely blends them together, resulting in a project which sounds as though separate studios were used for recording."[5]
