Reception Felix Vasquez Jr. gave the film a favorable review, writing that it "Works to the beat of its own drum, delivering kills aplenty, and a very interesting whodunit mystery." Horror Society and Ain't It Cool News also reviewed Don't Go to the Reunion, with the former stating "All in all Don’t Go to the Reunion is a pretty decent slasher flick. Sure, it has its faults, but being that it was an homage to old slashers and the team’s first attempt at a feature length flick I was impressed."
