At Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, the film received a poor rating of 14% from Cream of the Crop and 9% from critics, with the general consensus being that "Valentine is basically a formulaic throwback to conventional pre-Scream slasher flicks.

“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
