The off-Broadway production received very positive reviews. In his review for ''[[The New York Times]]'', Bruce Weber wrote, "It's remarkable what [this show's] intelligent wit can accomplish".<ref>{{cite
The West End reviews were less positive. The ''CurtainUp'' reviewer wrote, "[U]nless ''Bat Boy The Musical'' gathers a cult audience, I fear it will not linger. The newspaper critics do sometimes get it wrong, ... but they have been less kind to ''Bat Boy'' than the [[West Virginia]]ns portrayed in the musical." The subsequent sell-out 2006 [[Edinburgh Festival]] production of the revised score used in the West End received very positive reviews, with many suggesting the show suited this more 'scaled-down' style.<ref name=albemarle/><ref name=curtain/>
