Critics have praised its imaginative concept and inventive puppetry, with some noting its influence on later science fiction children's programming.

Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official critic score for this series, but audience reviews echo similar sentiments, appreciating its unique style while acknowledging its niche appeal. Metacritic lacks sufficient reviews for a rating, indicative of the show's cult status rather than mainstream recognition. Overall, the series is celebrated for its creativity and entertainment value despite occasional limitations in production technology of its time.
