The album title was inspired by Anderson gifting his daughter a toy man made from an apple, which she was more interested in than a spaceman toy she had also been given.[1]
Astronaut Meets Appleman received a score of 79 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 14 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[2]AllMusic's Timothy Monger found it to be "a looser set" than From Scotland with Love (2014) "whose earthy ramblings seem grounded more firmly in the present" and although "not one of Anderson's most immediately engaging albums", he found it to have "a meandering charm that works its magic over time".[3] John Murphy of MusicOMH described it as "an album where everything but the kitchen sink (strings, beats, even bagpipes) seems to have been thrown in, and yet it maintains a fierce focus".[1]
Mojo stated that it "could be King Creosote's finest hour yet",[4] while Uncut felt that "his wrinkled brogue—warm, pithy, occasionally fluttering to a falsetto—is a thing of understated beauty in itself, framed in folk-shanty arrangements that make telling use of strings and bagpipe".[5]
