   Reviews of the movie were unkind. Variety merely wrote, "Briefly, it's unbelievably bad," while the writer for the Hollywood Reporter said, "There's a cute idea behind The Twonky, but the basic premise is so smothered by a flood of dull dialogue that it becomes completely lost.

   The robot-like set (the Twonky) uses rays to do helpful things (it lights his cigarettes, creates counterfeit $5 notes, empties the dishwasher, shaves him, vacuums the house), but it also walks around awkwardly, uses the phone and makes unwanted value judgements (like breaking his classical records – because the Twonky wants to listen to marching music).
