Critical reception

TV Guide wrote, "the plot of this tidy suspense mystery is developed neatly, with a believable solution to the murders";^[3] and Shades of Grey wrote, "after a shakey start (with some pretty lame acting by Starrett and Grey), Murder on the Campus comes together as a fine little murder mystery."^[4]
