Film critic [[Emanuel Levy]] gave the film a score of 2 out of 5.<ref>{{cite web|title=Santa with Muscles Reviews|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/santa_with_muscles/reviews/|website= [[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=6 December 2011}}</ref> Joe Leydon in [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] described ''Santa with Muscles'' as a "weakling of a comedy" and thought that Hogan's performance was lacking the charisma of his previous work such as ''[[Suburban Commando]]''. Leydon panned the direction in particular, stating: "Working from an irredeemably bland screenplay, John Murlowski directs with all the enthusiasm of someone going through the motions to pay off a debt."<ref name=varietyreview>{{cite news |date= 18 November 1996 |last= Leydon |first= Joe |title= Santa with Muscles|url= https://variety.com/1996/film/reviews/santa-with-muscles-1200447631/ |access-date=6 December 2011|newspaper= [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] }}</ref> Chris Hicks, writing for the ''[[Deseret News]]'', stated that films such as ''Santa with Muscles'' make films like ''[[Jingle All The Way]]'' look better, and said that Hulk Hogan "makes [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] seem like [[Laurence Olivier]]".<ref>{{cite news|last=Hicks|first=Chris|title=Santa with Muscles|url= http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700001588/Santa-With-Muscles.html|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121022021312/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700001588/Santa-With-Muscles.html|url-status= dead|archive-date= October 22, 2012|access-date= 2 March 2019 |newspaper= [[Deseret News]] |date=10 December 1996 }}</ref> MaryAnn Johanson of ''Flick Filosopher'' called it "a deeply awful comedy" and "Believe me, it’s even dumber than it sounds."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickfilosopher.com/1999/12/santa-with-muscles-review.html|title=Santa with Muscles (review)|date=1999-12-11|website=FlickFilosopher.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-07}}</ref>
