| Shockya.comBrent SimonEschewing more sophisticated and higher-degree-of-difficulty moodiness for lots of panicked thrashing about, this found-footage horror tale is an exercise in well-intentioned tedium. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlCredit this spirited, uncommonly effective found-footage thriller for breaking the templates promised by its genre and title. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyBeckerman intersperses the footage with static, loud and jagged, and the couple of "effects" included are quick and dirty. If you're going to go the found-footage route, you might as well try to find a new way to approach the material. Beckerman has. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergToday's lesson is "How not to make a found footage film." |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite a neat narrative twist delivered during the end credits, Alien Abduction is ultimately a by-the-numbers enterprise that will please only the most undemanding audiences at midnight screenings. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMatty Beckerman’s Alien Abduction repackages ancient legend for modern audiences in a found-footage story of streamlined efficiency. |

| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoAlien Abduction is the same found footage movie we've seen time and time again, just this time with aliens substituted in as the main antagonistic force. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezA few jolting scares are deployed throughout, but more difficult to shake is how the story's overacting lambs walk a rather programmatic path toward slaughter--or at least anal probing. |
