- Excerpt: The film works hard to create excitement and emotion around an interplanetary rock hunt.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: [White] packs an enormous amount of information into his 105 minute running time without ever forgetting to entertain with little tidbits like Oppy’s autonomous system needing to be reassured she may proceed after becoming alarmed by her own shadow.

- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: GOOD NIGHT OPPY is a documentary about the Martian rover Opportunity, from the original concept through its landing on Mars on January 25, 2004, its activities on Mars, an up to its final shut-down (or death, as many of the support team thought of it) on June 10, 2018, 5111 sols later. This is a very different style of documentary than the documentaries made by NASA (though it uses archival footage from NASA and JPL).
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s a solid documentary that bridges education with entertainment without really concerning itself with trying to do anything extra for success.

- Excerpt: “Good Night Oppy” is a surprisingly-entertaining film about exploration on Mars and the hunt for water.
