ComicBook Nation host Kofi Outlaw didn't love Alien: Romulus' heavy reliance on franchise nostalgia, giving it 2.5. out of 5 stars in his review:

Alien: Romulus should be a big step forward for the franchise, but instead it's just a long look backward. It also may be the final proof needed that only Ridley Scott knows the core of what makes Alien a classic horror tale, and may be the only one suited to move things forward.
