Rafael Motamayor of /Film gave the film a rating of 8.5/10 and called it "one of the most impressive feature debuts of the year as well as one of the most fun "what-ifs" imaginable".

Anton Bitel of SciFiNow wrote that the film "brings about its own deconstruction, literally collapsing on the ancient foundations that support its knowingly flimsy premise."
