Godzilla Minus One attained praise from industry figures. Hideaki Anno, co-director of Shin Godzilla, called the film "well-made" and praised the film's technical prowess, saying that Japan has improved in the field of visual effects. Godzilla (2014) director Gareth Edwards admitted to feeling "jealous", adding that "this is what a Godzilla movie should be" and that the film should be "mentioned as a candidate for the best Godzilla movie of all time". At the film's American premiere, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) director Michael Dougherty told Yamazaki and Kamiki that the film was "amazing". Seth Green said "It's a movie filled with a lot of emotions, and I was very moved by it." Guillermo del Toro noted the film's "Theatre-sized ambition and fulfillment" and called it "A Miracle". Filmmakers Adam Wingard (director of Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire), Joe Dante, James Ponsoldt, and Juel Taylor listed the film amongst their favorite films of 2023.
Kevin Smith named it "by far the best Godzilla movie that I've ever seen"; he thought the human drama was "as interesting as some of the most horrifying Godzilla scenes" and compared the ocean sequences to Jaws (1975). Several filmmakers, including John Landis, spoke to Yamazaki and three other members of the visual effects crew while they were at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on January 13, 2024, and some expressed to them that they believed the movie is the best of 2023. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters creators Matt Fraction and Chris Black commend the film's storyline and themes, with Black feeling it was equal to their show and Legendary's Monsterverse films. Blumhouse Productions founder and CEO Jason Blum named it his favorite movie of the year and expressed his desires for Yamazaki to make a Blumhouse film. Yamazaki encountered Steven Spielberg—whom was a significant influence on the film—at the 2024 Oscar Nominees Luncheon. According to The A.V. Club, Spielberg is "obsessed" with the film and told Yamazaki: "I saw it once in my home, and then I had to go see it again in IMAX, then Dolby Atmos".
Pembuat video game Hideo Kojima memuji film, mengatakan bahwa "Godzilla, plot, VFX, musik dari Ifukube, penampilan Hamabe, dan pujian setelahnya" merupakan "tidak ada namun nilai tambah", dan bercanda bahwa "hasilnya adalah +120 angka, sehingga aku ingin merubah judulnya". Penulis One Piece Eiichiro Oda mengatakan bahwa filmnya "sangat bagus" dan menginspirasinya untuk melihat film lainnya pada serial ini setelahnya.

Produser televisi Nobuyuki Sakuma [ja] mengatakan bahwa "baik tua dan baru" dan "kekuatan darif Godzilla membuatku takut beberapa kali".

Komedian Shohei Osada menonton film ini tiga kali, dan menyebutnya "sangat menarik".
