"Despite all its blood-letting, Scream Blacula Scream fails for lack of incident, weakness of invention, insufficient story."
– Roger Greenspun, "New York Times", July 19th, 1973

"A decent follow up to the original blaxploitation classic..."
– blackhorrormovies.com

"...a sometimes amusing, often chilling portrait of vampirism...Marshall, with his authoritative presence and booming, rich voice, creates a sympathetic vampire."
- John Stanley, Creature Features

"This sequel to the successful Blacula [1972] should instead be called Scream, Audience, Scream - and not in terror but boredom....not only anemic but often downright bloodless, too."
- Donald Bogle, Blacks in American Films and Television

"...Grier dispatches Blacula by the novel means of driving a stake into a voodoo doll replica of him. This and a few other moments of invention (the narcissistic Lawson is horrified to find that as a vampire he can no longer admire himself in the mirror) are not enough to offset a prevailing air of threadbare conventionality."
- Phil Hardy, The Encyclopedia of Horror Films

"The results are pretty laughable."
- Michael Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film

"Adequate follow-up to Blacula lacks much of what made the original so special, substituting instead lots of action and campy humor."
- James O'Neill, Terror on Tape
