Michael Helms from 'Digital Retribution.com' gave the film a positive review, awarding the film a score of 4 / 5 stating, "Although there might have been a little more work performed on Jolly Roger himself to make him much stronger in the Wishmaster sense of second tier horror franchise characters, the bottom line is this film delivers the gory goods".
Rick Blalock from 'Terror Hook.com' gave the film a mixed score of 5.5/10, complimenting the film's gore and sharp editing bur criticized the film's "cheesy" plot and slow start. Andrew Smith of 'Popcorn Pictures' awarded the film a score of 4/10, writing, "'Jolly Roger: Massacre at Cutters Cove' is harmless enough fun but it could have been a much greater throwback to the 80s slasher film had the script been tighter and the character of Roger been taken more seriously."
Not all reviews of the film were negative.
Film Threat gave the film a positive review, writing, " While just as dumb as 'Death Valley: the Legend of Bloody Bill', 'Jolly Roger' is way more fun. And with a decapitation nearly every two minutes, director Jones certainly knows how to keep the red flowing."
