Critical response

A review in the Variety television and film guide called Rush Week a "slasher film long on pretty girls and short on gore. It's a belated direct-to-vid release. Durable if cornball format has coeds being killed on a college campus during the frats' annual rush week ceremonies... Bralver seems more intent on satisfying voyeurs."
Michael Weldon in The Psychotronic Video Guide called the film "another stupid, boring teen/horror movie." In his book Legacy of Blood: A Comprehensive Guide to Slasher Movies, film historian Jim Harper noted: "Although running several years too late to catch the slasher craze, Rush Week is a fairly honorable attempt to rehash the past."
