TotalGames.net said "A lot better than anyone dared to imagine (damn that Atariclassic!’) – just don't expect the game to be as timeless and breathtaking as the movie and you'll have a good time".

PSX Nation wrote "A decent-enough scavenger hunt to amuse youngsters for quite a few hours of simple and repetitive item-gathering and level-clearing fun". GameZone commented "This is a nice little program, certainly not all that challenging, but delightful for its animation of a benign alien creature and its charming ways", and Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine said "It’s dreadfully ugly and unredeemingly unfun".[3]
