Colin Greenland reviewed The Stuff for White Dwarf #77 and stated that "A brilliant performance by Cohen stalwart Michael Moriarty as an industrial spy after the truth holds the straggling plot together."[29] It received positive reviews from critics: on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 68% rating, based on 19 reviews.[30] According to Bruce Kawin and Tony Williams, The Stuff satirizes American consumerism, mass media, and health foods.[31][32] Roger Crow of On: Yorkshire Magazine called the film a "schlock horror satire", praised Moriarty's performance, and said the film paid homage to "The Blob and Invasion of the Body Snatchers [and] went on to inspire cosmetics horror satire The Substance."[33] He said the quality of the special effects and picture quality ranged from good to bad. He praised the performance, direction, script, and rewatchability of the film.[33] Ian Berriman of SFX praised Moriarty for his ability to improvise in the film, calling him "delightfully idiosyncratic".[8] Berriman also wrote that although many special effects did not look believable, they contributed to the appeal of the film.
