	Media	Author	Review
		Geoff Andrew Time Out	"The 3-D process leaves the image somewhat murky, but you can discern sparks of authentic pulp poetry throughout."
		Ed Gonzalez Slant	'"It Came From Outer Space' remains especially evocative thanks to Jack Arnold’s 3-D savvy direction and the poetic tonality of the film’s dialogue. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		A.H. Weiler The New York Times	"Merely mildly diverting, not stupendous."
		Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"[A] scary black-and-white SF effort from 1953."
