Rock Paper Shotgun wrote: "Milky Way Prince manages to avoid conflating mental illness with cartoonish malice, presenting a nuanced, all too realistic portrait of a toxic relationship and all the different ways it can fail."[11] Eurogamer said the game "[...] feels like the first steps of a future master."[1] Dread Central called the game "moody" and "remarkable".[12]
