Just Adventure - "I’ll go further in saying that this is the tightest game so far in the series, and it benefits from refinements made to an already solid formula."

Game Zone - "Her Interactive has done an excellent job with this series in providing challenging adventures which are fun and engaging, and which are culturally relevant to today's teen, without resorting to the programming laziness of cheap sex and extreme violence. The Haunted Carousel is a great game to get for kids ages 12-16 (and older and younger, too)."

PC Gameworld - "Haunted Carousel is a short game with fairly easy puzzles, but the puzzles that pop up in the game are both geared toward fun and familiarizing females with subjects that for the most part, have typically been geared toward males in the past such operating a lathe, using a soldering gun, and learning about electrical currents."
