The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw said it was "laboured, self-conscious and unrelaxed,” which resembled "a 145-minute Saturday Night Live sketch," as well as lacking in real comedy.
Meanwhile, other reviewers said it was “too close to home.” Metro’s Tori Brazier said: "Don't get me wrong, it's still engaging and even humorous at times, and boasts the star-studded cast of the year... However, seeing a very close alternative reality writ large and so realistically on the big screen is quite the mind trip after what we've endured the past 21 months, and it's almost a little too close to home to properly enjoy."
"McKay's [the writer] tone may be grating, even if you don't have to look far to see some version of what he's ranting about in the real world," said Variety’s Peter Debruge. "That makes Don't Look Up a different kind of disaster movie, where the threat isn't what's to come so much as the state of affairs as they now stand."
The Evening Standard put a more positive spin on the satire as Charlotte O’Sullivan said it was "totally worth looking up".

"Adults who grew up with Dr. Strangelove and/or Network will love the way McKay updates and tweaks those iconic epics. And a certain kind of teen will be transported by the presence of Ariana Grande,"
