IndieWire
Extraterrestrial can be forgiven the tangents into melodrama due to Vigalondo's seamless ability to navigate those soapy waters. - 88
Slant Magazine
In almost every respect, Extraterrestrial is an exceptional and traditional romantic comedy. It just happens to be set during an alien invasion. - 70
Village Voice
Extraterrestrial is a comedy dropped agreeably into an alien invasion - well, maybe not invasion. The spaceship just sits there. - 60
Variety
Results are offbeat and amusing, but also a bit thin as the whole essentially amounts to one long shaggy-dog joke. - 60
New York Daily News
Quirky, but infinitely more interesting than big-budget Hollywood cousins. - 50
Austin Chronicle
On the whole, Extraterrestrial is slight, filled with lots of bark but little bite. - 42
The A.V. Club
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. - 40
The New York Times
Alien invasion is just an excuse for romantic farce in Extraterrestrial, a tiresome roundelay of lies, lust and leaping paranoia.
