Remarking upon this success, Edge called Nancy Drew a "powerful franchise". Curse of Blackmoor Manor also received "generally favorable reviews" from critics, according to review aggregation website Metacritic. In 2011, Adventure Gamers named it the 99th-best adventure game ever released. In The New York Times, Charles Herold praised Blackmoor Manors "intelligent game design", and considered its use of mini-games to be its only downside. He concluded that "clever puzzles and an interesting plot make it the best Nancy Drew game since The Final Scene". Jinny Gudmundsen of USA Today gave the game a 4 ½ stars out of five, saying "best for teens 13 and up because it's a little scarier, its puzzles are harder, and its themes of witchcraft, lycanthropy, and alchemy make it more appropriate for an older audience".
