In 1990, ''[[The New Yorker]]'' writer [[Janet Malcolm]] published an article, "[[The Journalist and the Murderer]]", with the thesis that journalism inevitably conflicts with morality as it is usually conceived; she considered ''Fatal Vision'' as the specific case leading her to this conclusion, and said that McGinniss committed a "morally indefensible" act in pretending that he believed MacDonald was innocent, even after he became convinced of his guilt.<ref name=cnn>{{cite news|last1=Falcon|first1=Gabriel|title=After 35 years, 'Fatal Vision' author, killer meet again|url=http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/29/justice/mcginniss-macdonald-appeal/|accessdate=Oct 13, 2014|publisher=Cable News Network|date=September 30, 2012}}</ref>

In 1995, Jerry Allen Potter and Fred Bost published ''Fatal Justice: Reinvestigating the MacDonald Murders'', attacking the murder jury's conclusions.<ref>{{cite web|first=Tara|last=Aronson|title=IS JEFFREY MACDONALD INNOCENT? / Despite his portrayal in "Fatal Vision," a new book contends he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife and children|url=https://www.sfgate.com/books/article/IS-JEFFREY-MACDONALD-INNOCENT-Despite-his-3042069.php|work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|date=March 5, 1995}}</ref>

In 2012, [[Errol Morris]] published ''[[A Wilderness of Error]]'' reviewing the MacDonald case, including discussions of McGinniss's book and Malcolm's study.

In 2012 (after McGinniss's diagnosis with terminal [[prostate cancer]]), McGinniss published an essay-length [[e-book]], ''Final Vision: The Last Word on Jeffrey MacDonald'', rebutting MacDonald's assertions in his multiple post-1983 appeals.<ref>[http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/pageviews/2012/12/joe-mcginniss-counters-errol-morris-fatal-vision-claims-no-doubt-that-jeffrey-macd "Joe McGinniss counters Errol Morris' 'Fatal Vision' claims: 'No doubt' that Jeffrey MacDonald has blood on his hands"] Daily News Online Book Blog, December 14, 2012.</ref>

In 2017 (after McGinniss's death in 2014), the book was adapted into a film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://reason.com/2017/12/08/final-vision-fails-to-shed-new-light-on/|title = ''Final Vision'' Fails to Shed New Light on a Famous Family Murder Case|date = December 8, 2017}}</ref>
