Moria says, "There is surely no other science-fiction works around that can be accused of being so close to the real events that they are like watching documentaries," and calls it "the first film of the so-called Golden Age of Science-Fiction Cinema that lasted from around 1950 to 1957." 1000 Misspent Hours gives it a positive review. StompTokyo says it "was long revered as a model of scientific accuracy". The New York Times says, "we've got to say this for Mr. Pal and his film: they make a lunar expedition a most intriguing and picturesque event." SciFi.com has a review. io9 has links to photos.
