- 60The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinThe two young principals are serviceable, but not nearly as lively as some of their co-stars — Christian Juttner, as the tallest Earthquake, steals virtually every scene he doesn't share with Miss Davis or Mr. Lee.
- 60Washington PostGary ArnoldWashington PostGary ArnoldFortunately, the level of pictorial magic improves considerably as the movies rolls along. [28 March 1978, p.B12]
- 50TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineThe kids will love all the visual gags in this pleasing if lightweight Disney film.
- 40IGNIGNThis extremely generic plotline feels very underwritten, almost as if it was one of many episodes of a Witch Mountain TV series rather than a three-years in the making sequel to a successful children's sci-fi adventure film.
- 40Washington PostJudith MartinWashington PostJudith MartinIt's a frequent theme of bad children's pictures that knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, is the opposite of unspoiled childhood goodness,and here it is again, only weakly contradicted by the one pleasant actor in the film, Jack Soo, as an idealistic truant officer. It's as if kiddies' mindless escape films, unlike adults', needed to carry their own internal justification. [31 March 1978, p.15]
