Critical reception
Vincent Canby of The New York Times enjoyed the film:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Paul Morrissey continues to be a cinema original and his Mixed Blood, a most unorthodox look at life in the drug trade on New York's Lower East Side, is successively comic, brutal, primitive and sophisticated - a comedy with the manners of a live-action cartoon for jaded adults.[1]
However, the reviewer at Time Out did not care for it:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
[The film is] Often taken for black comedy, its lurid visuals, ragbag assortment of performance styles, and the succession of ambushes, escapes and showdowns suggest something closer to Victorian melodrama.[2]
