Video Frightfest film event in October 2020, and featured during the Leeds International Film Festival in 2021. Critical Response Rotten Tomatoes scored Dune Drifter 100%, with positive reviews. The film also attracted a positive review from Jennie Kermode on Eye for Film, who said "Dune Drifter is an object lesson for all low budget filmmakers. The plot may be simple, the effects work in the opening section may look a bit rough, but the acting is superb and director Marc Price creates a powerful atmosphere. The result punches well above its weight." Eric Mortensen on Geeky Hobbies welcomed Dune Drifter in 2020, saying that "Dune Drifter has a decent amount of action sequences, but they are spaced out. The movie has a much greater emphasis on the main character just surviving. This means that character development plays a big role in the movie. I think this is one of the film’s greatest strengths. While most of the movie features only one character, I thought the character development was good. The plot is compelling and is well written in my opinion. The movie does a good job telling an interesting story about trying to survive on an alien planet." Following Frightfest in 2020, Dune Drifter was reviewed by Kim Newman, who said Marc Price had delivered an ambitious science fiction film, featuring a simple, gritty story with few frills, and a nice sense of widescreen spectacle. For Exit 6 Film Festival, Marc Price was interviewed in 2021, about his work, and Dune Drifter was praised for boasting some great miniature and in-camera visual effects for a film with a modest budget. Film Authority said that "although filmed in a UK living room the results look dynamic enough to keep the attention, and make Dune Drifter a cut above the average." In 2022, two years after the film was released, Dune Drifter was reviewed by Jim McLennan on Girls with Guns, who commented on “an admirable effort in terms of its budget”, and he also said that Phoebe Sparrow “portrays the heroine with a no-nonsense approach, prepared to do whatever is necessary to survive”.
