The show received mixed reviews. Bubbleblabber.com reviewed IFC's first foray into animated television, giving it a favorable review. From the article: "Ryan Quincy has the right ingredients in place to turn this one into a great find for the alt-comedy flavored network. Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times gave it a positive review. He compared the animation favorably to Bob's Burgers and said that the series has "a gentler, more delicate, behind-the-beat groove".New York Times calls it "dreamy, charming, deeply personal." Mixed reviews included Boston Globe's, Matthew Gilbert's, who called it "just fine", continuing, "the sincerity is refreshing in an animated context, but the characters and the stories are old hat." A review by PopMatters stated "It is often funny, but it could be funnier if it were wed to more coherent storytelling." A review from Slant Magazine declared "Out There presents an array of by-the-numbers boyhood scenarios that frequently feel stale, having an indistinct, been-there-done-that vibe."
