The series has received positive reviews. Rebecca Silverman ofAnime News Network gaveCocoon Entwined's volume 1 an overall B− rating, remarking that the first volume felt like a prelude that while interesting, hasn't quite gotten off the ground yet, concluding that "If volume two is able to solidify things more, this could be a series worth keeping an eye on."[16] Alternately, Brittany Vincent, reviewing the series forOtaku USA, praised the first volumes pacing, stating that "some may find Cocoon Entwined a bit slow, but its pace is deliberate, the romantic plots develop at a satisfying slow burn, and its tone is entrancing."[17] Erica Friedman ofYuricon gave the final volume a 9 out of 10 rating and praised the series overall; "I found this series fascinating, occasionally creepy, always fraught…but this was exactly the right ending. And beautifully drawn as the whole series has been. [...] As a final punctuation on the tropes of private girls’ school Yuri from a century ago, this series was a perfect farewell."[18]
