Writing in AllMovie, writer and film critic Hal Erickson described the film as "an offbeat murder mystery," and that "[although] the plot is nothing special, the wall-to-wall music and 'hip' ambience of Crimson Canary result in a better than average Universal 'B' [movie]". [4] A review in TV Guide reported that "equal attention is paid to both suspects and their motives," and that "Cool tunes color this one hot." [5]
