MaryAnn Johanson of "Flick Filosopher" wrote "this time out the focus is on the real people behind the Spock ears, and the film recognizes that they’re a lot more clever, creative, self-aware, and generous than the uninitiated will have realized." Nick Schager of "Lessons of Darkness" gave it D+ grade. He called it "a repetitive hodgepodge" and "More sloppily constructed than the first film".
