Reception

Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed No Blood Spilled for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall.{{cite journal|last=Kibblewhite|first=Gideon|date=May 1996|title=The Great Library|journal=Arcane|publisher=Future Publishing|issue=6|pages=83}} Kibblewhite comments that "Enjoyable this may be, but it certainly isn't very creepy, and if Daniels intended it to be light-hearted it doesn't make up for the rather cheesy ending. It spirals into a Holmes-versus-Moriarty affair that makes {{sic|occa|sionally}} pleasant, but on the whole, unremarkable entertainment."
