The Greasy Strangler received positive reviews from critics to some extent. It has a 64% score on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 42 reviews. The site's consensus states: "The Greasy Strangler definitely isn't for everyone, but filmgoers in step with its off-kilter stride are in store for a singular cinematic experience." On Metacritic, the film has a 58 out of 100 rating, based on 13 critics, indicating "Mixed or average reviews".
Peter Bradshaw, film critic of the British newspaper The Guardian, described the film as providing "uncompromising yuckiness" as well as laughs in a three-star review. However, writing in the same paper, Wendy Ide rated it zero out of five, likening it to "an early John Waters movie but without the sophistication" and describing the film as "aggressively inane horror comedy [which] manages to cram in every disgusting, deviant activity you couldn't begin to imagine".
