The South declared it was illegal and immoral.
In the North, the abolitonists complained that it didn't go far enough. (The Border states were alowed to continue practising slavery.)
But most Northerners were not abolitionists, and were not particularly impressed with it, as the mid-term elections showed.
The main impact was actually the one at the front of Lincoln's mind - to make it impossible for Britain and France to aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

That this criticism was a new adversity to be dealt with by Lincoln and his supporters is undeniable: it did not, however, deter the North from its march toward victory in any ultimately significant way.
