Staff (Not Credited) · Variety 80.00/100.00

The film is superbly crafted, taut and a technological cliff-hanger.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 75.00/100.00

Marooned isn't very interesting from a stylistic point of view, and the actors tend to get buried beneath the technology, but it does tell an exciting story, And that, I imagine, was all Sturges (whose storytelling includes The Great Escape and Bad Day at Black Rock) was really trying to do.

Staff (Not Credited) · Time Out 70.00/100.00

The widescreen effects are first-rate, as is Peck as the embattled controller, and the suspense builds remorselessly to a neat conclusion.

Staff (Not Credited) · TV Guide Magazine 75.00/100.00

Film offers a combination of highly technical jargon and emotional suspense in a well-balanced effort. The technical effects are extremely realistic, making the impact of the film much more powerful.

William Thomas · Empire 40.00/100.00

Like the stranded astronauts, we are forced to sit around for too long in stale air, waiting for something to happen. An overly-long, vacuous foray into space.

Howard Thompson · The New York Times 70.00/100.00

If Marooned falls short as a soaring blockbuster, it does keep both feet on the ground.
