The Boston Globe's Ty Burr calls it "dopey", "formulaic" and "never remotely scary." The New York Times' Nathan Lee appreciates a car that gets destroyed and magically reconstructed, but dismisses the rest of the film.

  The Covenant performed modestly at the domestic box office, earning $23 million dollars in its several weeks of release. It was the #1 film the weekend of its release, although that weekend was considered one of the weakest for new films of the year.
