DVD Verdict wrote "Wildly uneven, funny as Hell and occasional as disturbed as an actual psychopath, Evil Come Evil Go joins the ranks of other ridiculous exploitation romps, trying to hide their carnality with nonsensical narrative misdirection. And it kind of works." Daily Grindhouse's Paul Freitag-Fey called the film "a bizarre blend of ugly sex and ugly gore" that was nonetheless "a genuinely fascinating piece of work" due primarily to Cleo O'Hara's over-the-top performance. O'Hara's performance was also praised by Ian Jane of Rock! Shock! Pop!, who stated "Throw in an inexplicable guitar player who seems to pop up at random and serenade Sarah, a few great scenes where O'Hara’s crazed preacher interrupts a few couples in the midst of coitus and some great footage capturing the seedier side of early seventies Hollywood and it's easy to see why this one would have the cult following that it does."
