In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The C&C 32 captures the essence of the cruiser/club racer of the early 1980s. While this boat may not [have] emerged as a C&C classic, it does epitomize the builder's work at the height of its role and reputation in the Canadian sailboat industry. In many ways, this boat seems like the natural evolution of what C&C had started with its earlier 27 and 30 feet models, only everything is a little larger, and its lines are little more modern looking. Below is the familiar dinette arrangement opposite a full length settee, a layout which it has in common with its earlier predecessors. However, the interior of the 32 also has room for a quarter berth and a permanent chart table/navigation station. Outside is a large T-shaped cockpit, and the nice clean lines of the deck and cabin is what helped earn C&C a reputation for coming up with good looking designs."{{cite web|url = http://sailquest.com/market/models/cc32.htm|title = C&C 32 |accessdate = 24 July 2018|last=McGoldrick |first=Michael |work = Sail Quest|year = 2018|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220324223908/http://sailquest.com/market/models/cc32.htm|archive-date= 24 March 2022|url-status= live}}
