Screen Daily referred to the Discopath as "an enjoyable oddball genre blending, fun while it lasts but ultimately too niche to make much of an impact, unless with horror fans." The Hollywood Reporter stated, "Semi-campy slasher pic is for genre fetishists only," and, "It's hard not to feel that Gauthier cares more about mimicking the style of giallo's greatest hits than about telling a story." Indiewire gave the film a D− rating, citing poor quality dubbing and production values as well as stating, "This is the type of movie that used to be made all the time, by quick-change artists capitalizing on a couple of random trends. But at least there was a genuine sleaze element at work, and the idea that there was a genuine approach and vision that emerged from a generic incompetence with cameras, framing and effects. Now, it’s just an intentional throwback, wrapping everything in intentional artifice to preserve something that was appealing for being primitive and not particularly thought-out. You can't go home again."
