Upon its release, Labyrinth received mixed reviews from critics but found a dedicated cult following over the years.

Audiences, however, have increasingly embraced its unique blend of fantasy, music, and puppetry.
Google audience: Google users largely praise Labyrinth for its enduring charm, creative visuals, and David Bowie's unforgettable performance. Many recall it fondly as a beloved childhood favorite, appreciating its unique fantasy elements and musical numbers, though some acknowledge the story can be a bit simplistic.
