Tim Goodman of the Hollywood Reporter gave the series a positive review, stating "...the entertainment value and suspense of Falling Skies is paced just right. You get the sense that we'll get those answers eventually. And yet, you want to devour the next episode immediately." Thomas Conner of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "...a trustworthy family drama but with aliens." He went on to say "It's "Jericho" meets "V," with the good from both and the bad discarded. It'll raise the summer-TV bar significantly."

He continued by saying "...Falling Skies rises above any one performance; it's the spectacle of humans versus aliens that draws you in." In a review in the Boston Herald, Mark A. Perigard gave the series a B grade, saying "Don't look now, but Falling Skies could be a summer obsession."
