Critical reception to "The Insects Unlisted in the Encyclopedia" has been mixed to moderately positive. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.9/10, indicating a modest appreciation among audiences. Reviewers have praised Yūsuke Iseya's nuanced performance, noting his ability to convey emotional depth in a restrained manner. Some critics commend the film's poetic cinematography and contemplative approach, highlighting its unique focus on the obscure world of insects as a metaphor for human existence.
