"DVD Kritik"s Maria Eremo, reflected on the first season, "even if there are some mistakes in policing... it makes it all a bit comical." In particular, Pekkari is "incredibly good" as Carina, and "makes the best impression." A "good effort" by Malmsjö as Henrik, who portrays "the jealous husband," as "not a very nice guy." The story is supported by, "very dramatic music," which "adds to the tension." Thomas of "Punk Rock Theary" reviewed a box set of the first three seasons of "The Sandhamn Murders". He observed, "as the series goes on, [Nora's] role becomes more important", while  the stories are only very loosely connected because the main characters are the same. Overall, "some of the plot twists are pretty far-fetched while some other developments are predictable doesn't exactly help speed things along." "TV Show Pilot"s Justine Naboya included the series, as one of "The 20 Best Scandinavian Crime Dramas", and noticed, "more often than not, the cases are revealed to be much more complex than they had initially (been) presumed." "Expressen"s Mattias Bergqvist felt Season 7 provides, "a breath of fresh and liberating" air. Its episodes are, "the first to leave [Sten's] novels", which  provides "a freedom that is absolutely necessary to keep interest."
