In his review in the "Chicago Sun-Times", Roger Ebert gave it three stars and offered a mixed response, writing, "The end of "Voyager" does not leave us with very much ... Thinking back, we realize we've met some interesting people and heard some good talk, and that it's a shame all those contrived plot points about incest got in the way of what was otherwise a perfectly stimulating relationship. This is a movie that is good in spite of what it thinks it's about."
