Frank Scheck wrote in The Hollywood Reporter, 4 May 2006, based on "precise observed based portrait" offers an insiders' perspective. The film, however, fail in comparison with predecessors such as Network. The "excellent" occupation contain "virtuoso" Sigourney Weaver.
Jay Weissberg described the film in the magazine Variety, 10 May 2006 as a mild parody of the caricature and the balance between the serious elements can not hold ( "mild parody of the process behind pilot tube development, but can not quite balance caricature with more serious side elements"). The result was "toothless", with too much repetition and too little originality. Weaver make the most of her part, Duchovny played solid, but colorless.
