The critical reaction to The Golden Age of Grotesque, Manson's inaugural exhibition, was mixed but remained fairly positive:

* ''"I get the feeling these are therapeutic images. They remind me of the paintings drawn by psychiatric patients, when they're given art materials to use as therapy. There, you see a lot of demons, and in Manson's work I see in it a little bit of those demons, too. He's got a very dark take on life. They might sell for thousands of dollars, but that's because people associate fame with a worth. People would come to see his show probably in droves, but his work would never be taken seriously in a fine-art context. The value is in their celebrity, but not in the work."''

−
* ''"I have to admit, I liked them more than I thought I would. Some of them are naive in a way, but some of them are beautiful, quite brilliant. They seem very detached, a little bit sorrowful. They definitely aren't about happiness. If you saw these paintings without his name, you'd take a second look. But I don't think his work will stand up to the kind of scrutiny that's going to happen if he shows them in a gallery."''
