| Contactmusic.comRich ClineWith a simple story and a huge amount of imagination, this gentle animated adventure feels like a blast of fresh air when compared to entertaining but formulaic Hollywood studio animation. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe animated images are quirky-funny; the multi-accent English-language dialogue is a delight; the story has wacky charm. |
| Total FilmStephen KellyLight and subtly satirical, it's a refreshing reminder that sometimes less can be more. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerUtterly delightful children's story with gorgeous storybook-style animation, a warm-hearted script, quietly quirky characters and a superb soundtrack. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserQuirky animated movie has positive messages, mild scares. |
| SFX MagazineAndrew OsmondIt's recommended if you adore handmade children's picture books, lovely colours and compositions, trad animation and quirky humour which never, ever panders to pop culture. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayUltimately, Schesch and Weber's deliberate rhythms prove to be an asset, as the lunar hero explores the wonder of this world, refusing to get roped into anybody's action-plot. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonAdults may long for a bit more impetus in the lackadaisical narrative. But younger viewers will be entranced by the child-like wonder the Moon Man inspires in others. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawAn interesting alternative to Hollywood entertainment. |
| Observer (UK)Xan BrooksA lo-fi delight, blending old-school storytelling with a whiff of head-shop trippiness. |
