| Writing for At Home In Hollywood, Lisa Johnson Mandell praised how "Alexander takes a refreshingly balanced approach" and noted that "It's Coming succeeds not by trying to convince viewers of the existence of the paranormal, but by presenting an honest portrait of a family living with what they believe to be supernatural phenomena."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://athomeinhollywood.com/2024/11/06/its-coming-review-paranormal-doc/ |title=It's Coming Review: Paranormal Doc |author=Lisa Johnson Mandell |date=2024-11-06 |website=At Home In Hollywood |access-date=2024-11-29}}</ref> | |||

| Sun Coast News critic Lee Clark Zumpe described the documentary as "mesmerizing," emphasizing that "The very fact that he doesn't appear to inject uncanny elements makes the documentary more disquieting — and, in some ways, more credible." Zumpe praised how "Throughout the film, curious anomalies are captured on video or audio. The director doesn't underscore any of these as evidence: A few occurrences are repeated in slow-motion, but Alexander wisely declines to state emphatically that he has managed to capture evidence of the supernatural. Instead, he puts the footage in front of the viewer, obliging them to make that determination."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.suncoastnews.com/arts_and_entertainment/movie-review-it-s-coming/article_f78983e4-e4da-5ecb-938d-3e1a7ae0b5b1.html |title=Movie Review: It's Coming |author=Lee Clark Zumpe |date=2024-11-22 |website=Sun Coast News |access-date=2024-11-29}}</ref> | |||
| Staci Lynn Wilson of Women In Horror commended how "Alexander's direction strikes the perfect balance between skepticism and sympathy, creating a documentary that is as much about breaking stigmas as it is about breaking curses," adding that "what makes this documentary genuinely creepy is how Alexander frames the everyday domestic sphere as a battlefield between maternal instinct and malevolent forces."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://womeninhorror.com/blog/f/its-coming-movie-review |title=It's Coming Movie Review |author=Staci Lynn Wilson |date=2024-11-06 |website=Women In Horror |access-date=2024-11-29}}</ref> | |||
