Film historian and critic Leonard Maltin noted his opinion on the film with a list: "1) Look at the title. 2) Examine the cast. 3) Be aware that the plot involves omnivorous trees. 4) Don't say you weren't warned".[4] On his website Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings, Dave Sindelar criticized the film's poor acting, direction and script, and concluded that it "works best as inconsequential timekiller".[5] TV Guide awarded the film 2 out of 4 stars, calling it "one of those films that is so bad you go to see it for the laughs instead of the chills".[6] In film historian Tom Weaver's interview with Hoey, Weaver contended that The Navy vs. the Night Monsterssubsequently became a "cult favorite".
