Jayanty Nada Shofa of Jakarta Globe gave the film a mixed reviews and wrote: {{block quote|Each episode usually ends with a brief explanation on a reversed tarot card, which pretty much explains why the characters end up being the way they are. However, “Tarot” still feels like a disjointed work. Bad luck and random tarot cards are not enough to tie the three stories together.{{cite web|last=Shofa |first=Jayanty Nada |title='Tarot' Review: A Disjointed Korean Horror Anthology |url=https://jakartaglobe.id/lifestyle/tarot-review-a-disjointed-korean-horror-anthology |website=Jakarta Globe |date=July 3, 2024 |access-date=July 15, 2024}}}}
