Village Voice by

Extraterrestrial is a comedy dropped agreeably into an alien invasion - well, maybe not invasion. The spaceship just sits there.

Variety by Dennis Harvey

Results are offbeat and amusing, but also a bit thin as the whole essentially amounts to one long shaggy-dog joke.

IndieWire by Eric Kohn

Extraterrestrial can be forgiven the tangents into melodrama due to Vigalondo's seamless ability to navigate those soapy waters.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

Alien invasion is just an excuse for romantic farce in Extraterrestrial, a tiresome roundelay of lies, lust and leaping paranoia.

New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier

Quirky, but infinitely more interesting than big-budget Hollywood cousins.

Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten

On the whole, Extraterrestrial is slight, filled with lots of bark but little bite.

The A.V. Club by Noel Murray

There's a solid framework in place here for a fun, original twist on a conventional science-fiction premise, but aside from the occasional quirky touch - Vigalondo fails to fill that frame with a picture worthy of it.
