At the time of its release, top critics seemed to enjoy the film, and as of this writing, the film currently stands at a positive 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert called the film, “A lighthearted and goofy musical comedy.” Peter Travers said the film was “An entertaining trifle.” A writer at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette even totally fell head-over-heels for the film. He said, “[‘Earth Girls are Easy’] is so cheerful about so many stupid things that you cannot, in good conscience, endorse it, but you may be tempted to adopt it.” While the film was a critical success, it only made $3.9 million at the box office on a budget of $11 million, designating it as a flop.
