Upon its release, Astronauts garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film maintains a rating of 6.2/10, indicative of its niche appeal. Critics have praised the film's humor, particularly focusing on Thanasis Veggos's performance. One critic noted, 'Veggos shines with his comedic chops, transforming simple scenarios into laugh-out-loud moments.' However, others have pointed out that the plot can be somewhat disjointed and flashy, with one reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes commenting that, 'While the film holds the charm of 1960s cinema, it lacks a coherent storyline at times.' Despite these critiques, many viewers appreciate the nostalgic value and cultural significance of the film, celebrating its light-hearted take on space exploration and dreams. Ultimately, 'Astronauts' resonates with those seeking a comedic escape, even if it falters in narrative cohesion. As one reviewer from Metacritic put it, 'It may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it's a fun ride to the stars in its own right.'
