 Chris Drake and Graeme Bassett consider "Lunarville 7" to be a good episode of "Captain Scarlet".Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping, authors of "The Doctor Who Discontinuity Guide", list this episode and its follow-up, "Crater 101", as influences on the 1969 "Doctor Who" serial "The Seeds of Death".Noting the episode's incidental music, Mark Brend argues that "Lunarville 7" features "one of [Barry Gray's] most fully realised predominantly electronic compositions".
