Reception

Corey Danna of Horror News Network called Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre "a silly little movie" that is "made to entertain and it hits the spot".[2] Brandon Long of Pop Horror said "if Abbott and Costello were alive today, this would be their crossover with the 1983 cult classic, Sleepaway Camp".[3]

According to Scott A. Johnson of Dread Central "Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre has some genuinely funny moments coupled with some real groaner style humor that makes it great to watch if there's plenty of alcohol".[4]
