Allen Varney reviewed The Created for Dragon magazine #201 (January 1994).^[1] He liked the adventure "for its chilling premise, elegant craft, and atmospheric staging", and called the village "right out of Pinocchio".^[1] While he called the plot "spartan", he noted that the execution "makes the difference".^[1] Varney concluded by saying, "Nesmith, one of TSR's most talented staffers, shines in this introductory adventure. It should have come in the Ravenloft boxed set!"^[1]

DieHard GameFan said that "Is The Created one of the lesser Ravenloft adventures from the Second Edition era? Yes, there's no doubting that. It takes a very specific DM AND gaming group to make evil puppets work in any form remotely close to scary. Still, if you can find that right mix or you just want a weird adventure to make your friends laugh with, The Created isn't a bad choice."^[2]
