Bill Gibron of PopMatters rated it 710 and wrote, While not a classic, The Hanging Woman definitely has its high points. Its got some great locations, a splash of sinister finesse, more than a few ripe red herrings, and a performance by Naschy thats not to be missed. Stuart Galbraith of DVD Talk rated itstars and wrote, Its tough being negative on what was obviously a labor of love for those involved with its release, but The Hanging Woman 1973, a Spanish horrormystery featuring beefy genre heavyweight Paul Naschy in a supporting role, is a big disappointment. David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote, There are some premium bizzaro moments to be found in The Hanging Woman and recommended it to fans of Naschy and slowpaced Hammer Films. ........
