- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoIt's full of Plympton's trademark twisted humor, with lots of sex thrown in.
- 60Film ThreatMerle BertrandFilm ThreatMerle BertrandThough this rude and crude film does deliver a few gut-busting laughs, its digs at modern society are all things we've seen before.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasZany, exuberantly irreverent animated space adventure.
- 50New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinNew Times (L.A.)Andy KleinWhile the humor is recognizably Plympton, he has actually bothered to construct a real story this time, and the joke sequences are shorter and better integrated. The visual style is also richer and "better drawn" than before.

- 40Austin ChronicleMarrit IngmanAustin ChronicleMarrit IngmanMutant Aliens would have been brilliant as a short; there's just not enough story for a full-length feature, so the film seems strung together.
