Emanuel Levy of Variety wrote that "Alfred Hitchcock deserves better than the atrocious homage he gets in Paul Williams' Mirage, an incoherent thriller that can't decide whether to slavishly copy Hitchcock's Vertigo or make a satire out of it.

Closing-night selection of the Palm Springs Film Festival was greeted with laughter and sneers by a bewildered audience."

J. R. Taylor of Entertainment Weekly said that "Ultimately, all this convolution leads to a cliffside climax so amusingly absurd it's worth the rental fee."
