In his review for the ''[[Washington Post]]'', Richard Harrington wrote, “At one point Pleasence vows that 'it's a secret that can no longer be kept.' Here's another: {{'}}''The Prince of Darkness'' stinks.' It too deserves to be shut up in a canister for 7 million years".<ref name= "Harrington">{{cite news | last = Harrington | first = Richard | coauthors = | title = ''Darkness'': Let Satan Sleep | work = [[Washington Post]] | pages = D15 | language = | publisher = | date = October 28, 1987 | url = | accessdate = }}</ref> Liam Lacey, in his review for ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', wrote, “There is no character really worth caring about, no sympathy to any of these characters.

Richard Harrington je za Washington Post napisao da: ''Kada se Pleasence zaklinje da je „to tajna koju se više ne može čuvati“ evo još jedne: 'Princ tame smrdi.' I previše zaslužuje da se zatvori u kanister za 7 miliona godina''.<ref name="Harrington">{{cite news | last = Harrington | first = Richard | coauthors = | title = ''Darkness'': Let Satan Sleep | work = [[Washington Post]] | pages = D15 | language = | publisher = | date = October 28, 1987 | url = | accessdate = }}</ref>
In 2004, Jim Emerson wrote that ''Prince of Darkness'' was an undervalued horror film: "What makes me goose-pimply about ''Prince of Darkness'' is its goofy-but-ingenious central conceit and its truly Surrealistic imagery, some of which could have sprouted out of [[Luis Buñuel|Buñuel]] and [[Salvador Dalí|Dali]]'s ''Un Chien Andalou''."<ref>Emerson, Jim (October 14, 2004).

Liam Lacey napisao je za The Globe and Mail sljedeće: ''Ne postoji niti jedan lik koji bi zaista trebao zabrinjavati, nijedan nije simpatičan. Glavni romantični par, Jameson Parker i Lisa Blount, dovoljno su neugodni da stvaraju nesretnu ambivalenciju o svojim vječnim sudbinama''.<ref name="Lacey">{{cite news | last = Lacey | first = Liam | coauthors = | title = After ''Starman'', ''Prince'' is painful | work = The Globe and Mail | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = October 26, 1987 | url = | accessdate = }}</ref>
Like most of Carpenter's films, ''Prince of Darkness'' went on to have a [[cult following]].{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}
U članku za [[The New York Times|New York Times]] Vincent Canby je nazvao film: ''iznenađujuće lakim hororom gospodina Karpentera, režisera čiji je rad obično daleko efikasniji i inovativniji''.<ref name="Canby">{{cite news | last = Canby | first = Vincent | coauthors = | title = ''Prince of Darkness'' | work = [[New York Times]] | pages = 26 | language = | publisher = | date = October 23, 1987 | url = | accessdate = }}</ref>
The dream sequence narrations were sampled by [[DJ Shadow]] on his 1996 album ''[[Endtroducing.....]]''
Pozitivnu kritiku dao je Nigel Floyd za Time Out nazivajući film ''"zanosnim"'' i dodavši da je to "''klaustrofobični teror generisan tečnom kamerom i upečatljivim uglovima dovodi do vrhunca.''".<ref>Nigel Floyd, "Prince of Darkness" in John Pym, ''Time Out Film Guide 2011''.
